Rails - May 2008 - Yahoo or Google SMTP servers to send email from RoR?

Hi,

has anyone succeeded to test sending emails from RoR app using Yahoo or
Google SMTP server? I have accounts with those.

I am currently adding email support but I can''t get mails sent. Well I
can send them if I use my work''s SMPT but I don''t want to use
that.

This I use:

# Email settings
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
  :address => "smtp.yahoo.com",
  :port => 25,
  :authentication => :login,
  :user_name => "my username",
  :password => "my password"
  }

In config file I have:

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.active_record.observers = :user_observer (for some automatic
features)

----

Btw what is config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true actually
doing? I can''t see any errors in the logs, how can I use this?

Thanks.

Why not? Spooling to a local MTA is generally more reliable than using 
straight SMTP because if the SMTP server is unreachable and/or down, your 
MTA will just re-queue and try again later (in most cases, retrying for up 
to 5 days).

Hi, I guess Yahoo and Google use HELO, tls, etc as Reinhart''s
suggestion
indicates (I didn''t have time to try it yet).

I''m currently developing on XP and later on that goes to a shared 
server, maybe I can''t use MTA there but I think SMTP should be ok
there.

Cheers
