Rails - Jan 2009 - Do I need an SSL certificate to use ActionMailer 2.2.2?

Hi guys - I''m sorry to post about this issue again but after several
days I still cannot get ActionMailer working and I''ve been through
every tutorial/forum looking for the answer.

I know ActionMailer now requires SSL validation, does that mean I need
to purchase an SSL certificate before I can send emails?

If not, is there anyone out there who can help me set up my mailer to
work?

your''s despairingly,

Gavin

Where did you hear that? SSL is only an option not a requirement. We use 
ActionMailer on our VoD website, and to send and receive emails from/to 
other servers, we cannot (yet) use encrypted protocol.

I was under the impression that this was one of the changes in Rails
2.2?

http://journal.dedasys.com/2008/12/08/openssl-ssl-sslerror-hostname-was-not-match-with-the-server-certificate

I get the message:
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: hostname was not match with the server
certificate

When trying to use the actionmailer settings that everyone suggests?

Does your app run in Rails 2.2.2 Fernando?
