Just a note that might anyone who's been in my situation.
If you are using gmail and want to send through smtp, you need the
following in your config/environment.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
# The email still gets sent without this
:domain => "yourdomain.tld",
:user_name => "[email protected]",
:password => "your_gmail_pass",
:authentication => :plain,
:tls => true,
:port => 587
}
Side note, sending emails was failing silently.
I had to comment out the last bit of Mailer#send (which rescues
errors) so I could see on my log what was happening.
The rescue part adds the error.message to a hash but I didn't find how
to access this hash. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
