Try modifying your environment.rb to include the following
===
...
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
# Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those
specified here.
# ...
##### start narayan
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "mail.mydomain.com",
:port => "26",
:domain => "mydomain.com",
:user_name => "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
:password => "xxxx",
:authentication => :login
}
##### end narayan
===
Hope it works!
