sending mail to a configured smtp server

Question

I have folowing configuration lines written in mailer.rb file to send mails using a particular sever.

config.active_record.default_timezone = :local

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "abcprojsmtp", :port => 25, :authentication => :login } config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

Mails are not reaching the destination.

are any other configurations missing. Please help me with this.

Answer 1

I like to put the ActionMailer settings in environment.rb or in the respective environment/ files. You have more control over how mail is being sent while developing the app.

My guess is you will also need the :user_name and :password options...

Answer 2

Issue is resolved... it required additonal Domain name to be specified.

It worked :)
