Hi Prism.

Here's the configuration I use on my Radiant site. I use Google for
sending/receiving email from the site, the Gmail account is "gmail_user"
and the password for signing into that account to read email is
"gmail_pass".

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
  :enable_starttls_auto =>  true,
  :address              =>  "smtp.gmail.com",
  :port                 =>  "587",
  :domain               =>  "smtp.gmail.com",
  :authentication       =>  :plain,
  :user_name            =>  "[email protected]",
  :password             =>  "gmail_pass"
}

So, :address, :port, and :domain all refer to your website's smtp server.
:username and :password refer to the email user account you wish to use for
sending/receiving messages.

Hope this helps.
