Hello, I am using action mailer to send mails. I need to use a third party smtp server. The third party smtp server i am using is authsmtp. ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => "mail.authsmtp.com", :domain => "mydomain.com", :port => 2525, :authentication => "login", :user_name => "promo-3Q2Tfjf0mexWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org", :password => "password for promo-3Q2Tfjf0mexWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org" } when i try to send the mail, i get authentication failed error. but if i change the :address to mail.mydomain.com everything works fine. I want to use authsmtp to send mail I think i also have to authenticate the authsmtp server.I have its username and password. Where do i have to write that. Any idea whats going wrong. Please help Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
