Hello - I''m kind of new to this whole web development thing - I have a VPS and I''ve installed ubuntu 8.04 and postfix on it, and now I''m deploying simple rails apps to get the hang of the whole process. So I put together a small forum application, based on the restful_authentication plugin. I''ve changed user_mailer.rb to reflect the signup/activation emails that I want to send, but I haven''t modified restful_authentication beyond that - it''s very basic and vanilla. So I managed to use mod_rails to get my little app up and running - I can see the empty forum and everything - but when I go to sign up as a new user, I submit my information and the browser hangs for a short while. Finally, it gives me the Rails 500 "We''re sorry, but something went wrong" screen. The final entry in production.log is: --- Processing UsersController#create (for 62.90.14.161 at 2009-02-06 04:35:22) [POST] Parameters: {"user"=>{"password_confirmation"=>"(my password)",

I''m thinking that I must have set up postfix wrong, but I''m not sure how. I followed this guide: http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/7/29/postfix-installation (I haven''t done any of the more advanced guides on this site - receiving mail, multiple domains... it''s all very basic) So, bottom line, my server can send mail, and when my rails app tries to send mail it says it succeeds (but doesn''t) and then hangs. Where should I look now? I''m kind of stumped, and I feel like I''m missing something really obvious. Thanks!

Re: 500/Timeout when trying to send an email with my app?
Ah! All it needed was: ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail I was sure I was missing something obvious. Thanks for your help!
