That, VERY SPECIFICALLY is why I use the :sendmail option !

Your problem is injecting your message into the host mail system. That you are getting a 504 means you are using :smtp So, why is :sendmail a problem for you? Are you really addressing your local machine with this? If the applciaiton and config/environment.rb are on MACHINE-A and the reference you have in the mailer setup in "ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings" is MACHINE-B then this could cause the problem. You might *THINK* you are addressing the same machine but does the machines resolver think so? That is why using :sendmail is so much easier. Check that sendmail is at /usr/sbin/sendmail and try sending by cat'ing a file with appropriate headers though it. ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true If its not at /usr/sbin/sendmail you need to override the base settings, which are ActionMailer::Base.sendmail_settings = { :location => '/usr/sbin/sendmail', :arguments => '-i -t' } Try the command which sendmail to find it. It may also be somewhere like /usr/lib/sendmail :-) -- Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security. -- Edmund Burke _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: [email protected] Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ List Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant Radiant: http://radiantcms.org Extensions: http://ext.radiantcms.org
