I'm having problems actually sending via ActionMailer in development, on my localhost, with Rails 2.3.2 and Ruby 1.8.6. The development.log shows that it has "sent" the email with no errors, but the email is not received. I have tried multiple email addresses for sending and receiving and have tried multiple configs and plugins, but cannot get the email to send. Any help would be much appreciated - I feel like I'm dancing around a bunch of versions of solutions for different versions of rails and ruby and can't nail it down. I would much appreciate any comments. Thanks!
Plugins:
- action mailer optional tls
- smtp_tls
Different email configs:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true, #works in ruby 1.8.7 and above
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'example.com',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'testacct',
:password => 'secret'
}
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:tls => :true,
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => '[email protected]',
:password => 'secret'
#:enable_starttls_auto => true # for rails >= 2.2 && ruby >= 1.8.7
}
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = :true #try to force sending in development
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = :true
config.action_mailer.default_charset = "utf-8"
Development.log:
Sent mail to [email protected]
