hi, is there a way i can configure my localhost to receive email using
smtp? i can out emails fine but now would like to test/get-to-know how
to handle incoming emails.
if on my localhost:3000, do i do anything like below?
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address=>''smtp.yourserver.com'', # default: localhost
:port=>''25'', # default: 25
:user_name=>''user'',
:password=>''pass'',
:authentication=>:plain # :plain, :login or :cram_md5
}
what do i use as an email address?
thanks

Personally I use getmail, you can find some docs on the wiki. The code you posted is for _sending_ emails. Receiving with SMTP is quite hard, you need POP3/imap. Have fun ! ngw --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
