Having an Action Mailer that doesn''t mail.

...is like to have a cutter that doesn''t cut! :)

Hello, I''m working on Action Mailer, with a simple email confirmation
when a user signs up.

So, basically when I try to register myself on my local server, the
registration goes just fine, without errors nor failures, but I
ultimately don''t receive any email from myself, even though the app is
supposed and structured to do so.

For instance , I have the Notifier model structured so :

class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
  default :from => "###MY EMAIL###"

  def welcome(user)

   @user = user

    mail (:to => user.email , :subject => "Signed up
successfully")
  end
end

...and my UserController :

  def create
    @user = User.new(params[:user])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @user.save
        Notifier.welcome(@user).deliver
        format.html { redirect_to(@user, :notice => "User #{@user.name }
was successfully created.") }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @user, :status => :created,
:location => @user }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @user.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

I''ve got a Gmail account , and in my environments/development.rb I
configured the gmail account in this way :

  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
    :port => 587,
    :domain => "gmail.com",
    :authentication => "plain",
    :user_name => "MY EMAIL",
    :password => ''#MY PASSWORD'',
    :enable_starttls_auto => true
  }

Any idea???

Thank you very much!
Leo

Re: Having an Action Mailer that doesn''t mail.

Are you running the server in development mode? Are you getting any errors 
in your log?

Re: Having an Action Mailer that doesn''t mail.

Nope, the log shows a -I guess- normal session :

Sent mail to leo.mmcm-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org (4245ms)

The really weird thing is that I tried to send an email to a fake 
address, and then, in that case I receive an email from Email Delivery 
Subsystem, with the normal notice about an inexistent domain, so it 
means that ActionMailer actually works, but for some reason I''m not
able
to receive the email I send to myself.
I can''t see any evident clue in here, let me know if you see one :

[Solved]Re: Having an Action Mailer that doesn''t mail.

Right, this is weird.

I didn''t change a single line and tried again to register with the
usual
email address and this time I received the message!

Some conflict at ISP level maybe? Could be?

Thank you guys,
Leo

Is this mail being sent/received on a DSL/Cable modem? Your ISP may be  
filtering mail sent directly by your computer as an anti-spam measure.

Since you entered an intentionally garbled address as a testing  
measure, then your localhost might not have been able to forward it to  
the next hop, and the error message may have come from whatever you  
use for sendmail on your local computer.

In the case of a well-formed message, your machine may have sent it on  
to the next mailserver in the chain, which would be your ISP, and they  
looked at it, decided you were not a real server, and dropped it on  
the floor without comment.

Now if you''re sending from a real server with an MX record and  
everything, then I have no idea.

Thank you for your reply.
IMO what you say is likely, but right now it''s somehow solved by itself
:°)
A pity though, I would have known where was the catch.

Thanks

Given what happened, I have yet another theory: My ISP (Speakeasy)  
uses a method they call "graylisting" to cut down on spam. When they  
receive an e-mail from an unknown or untrusted server, they send back  
the WAIT(RandomNumberOfSeconds) command. Any real mail server knows  
what to do with that, and they do. SpamBot2000 running on infected  
Windows XP boxen (but I repeat myself!) don''t, and the mail is dropped
on the floor. You may have just encountered the RandomNumberOfSeconds  
here. When testing locally, I send to my MobileMe account, which seems  
to process all mail nearly instantaneously. My Speakeasy account and  
my Gmail account (which forwards into it) have the delay effect, so I  
never can tell if my mailer is working.
