I reckon as long as you have a SMTP server running on your local machine at port 25 you should be good to go. tashfeen.ekram wrote:> if i dont own a domain and am just interested in sending emails from > dev environment on my laptop would the config look like this: > > config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true > config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp > > config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { > :address => "localhost", > :port => 25 > } > > On Apr 5, 6:00 pm, Schalk Neethling <volume4.sch...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: >> Hi there, >> >> Setting that has always worked for me without fail is: >> >> config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true >> config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp >> >> config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { >> :address => "mail.yourdomain.com", >> :port => 25, >> :domain => "yourdomain.com" >> } >> >> HTH, >> Schalk >> >> tashfeen.ekram wrote: >>> sorry message got truncated. >>> i have looked around but find no solutions... >>> On Apr 5, 3:58 pm, "tashfeen.ekram" <tashfeen.ek...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: >>>> I am on ubuntu machine. i want to just do simple testing of sending >>>> emails. >>>> i first tried postfix, then mailtrap (http://rubypond.com/articles/ >>>> 2007/11/16/trap-rails-from-sending-mail-via-smtp/) to no avail. i keep >>>> getting timed out error. >>>> for postfix my settings were: >>>> config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { >>>> :address => ''localhost'', >>>> :port => 25, >>>> :domain => ''www.example.com'' >>>> } >>>> i tried changing to port 2525 to use mailtrap and got the same error. >>>> is there something essential i am missing? >>>> i just want to be able to send emails to test funcinality. not receive >>>> and nothing else. i searched around but i can not >> >> >> volume4_schalk.vcf >> < 1KViewDownload > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Most time what''s wrong is the smtp server. You should check the smtp server in your machine. If it works well when you use other client-email application to connect it, please check the email settings. And then, you can set the settings to other server. Such as gmail. For gmail, you should know the tls. Good luck.

tashfeen.ekram wrote:> Do I need to uninstall sendmail before trying to use postfix? (sorry > not exactly a rails question)No. But you do need to determine which one is running and what ip-addr and port it is listening on. Sendmail listens on 127.0.0.1:25 by default so that is where the smtp config should point to. I have no experience with Postfix but I imagine that it is similar. In either case, port 25 is the wks port for smtp traffic. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
