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=> "gmail_u...@gmail.com",
: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.
