I am looking for people to share their SMTP setup experiences. The assumption here is that I don't run my own mail server that does the real delivery, but rather its either gmail or something my hosting company maintains.
There are several ways to go at it each with their issues: 1 - use merb-mailer to connect directly to your external SMTP server. pros: simple. cons: only as robust as your merb process, assumes merb's run_later is solid. Also assumes I can use a TLS connect. Does the latest merb- mailer support this (that is, gmail). 2 - use merb-mailer to dump the mail into the local sendmail spool (postfix, preferably). From here, the sendmail deamon connects to my external service. pros: robust cons: complex setup and we only want it used for local forwarding, we don't need a full-on mail server. Its a sledgehammer approach. 3 - user merb-mailer to dump to a local spool and have some very lightweight deamon do the delivery. pros: lightwieght and maybe robust cons: not sure which solution to try. what are your thoughts? Do you have any config instructions you can share? thanks, Jon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
