I am trying to use rackspace ssl smtp for my mail settings for our rails application and I am receiving this error

hostname was not match with the server certificate

I need to find a way to disable verify on the certs for ActionMailer.

Anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Try setting enable_starttls_auto to false in your smtp_settings:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.default_charset = "utf-8"

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
  :address => 'server.com',
  :port => '25',
  :domain => 'yourdomain.com',
  :user_name => 'username',
  :password => 'password',
  :authentication => :login,
  :enable_starttls_auto => false
}

Answer 2

Resolved issue by using sendmail and configuring sendmail to use the proper smtp settings required to use rackspace email hosting.
