I need to send a mail to any domains(gmail,yahoo) without configuring any mail servers in environment.rb.
Is it possible? if it's NO the how devise_invitable gem is allowing us to trigger the mail?
You can use third party email services like:
http://sendgrid.com/
http://www.mailgun.com/
http://aws.amazon.com/ses/
Though you will still need to specify those in environment files, just that you won't need to manage an email server.

is there any REST API for roundcube?
I have this need:
I developed a software where it sends some emails to clients and we need to save the sent mails in the "sent" folder.
I searched a lot and all tutorials say that I have to use the auto_bcc but I need to simulate the client's behavoiur, I mean, when the boss access the "automatic#domain.com" mailbox by using roundcube or another email client, he can see the sent folder and the sent mails (not in the inbox), so I was thinking that if I can connect to roundcube and simulate a mail sending, roundcube will save the mail in the sent folder.
I hope I have explained myself
Thanks
You not specify coding language ... in case you use php, use PHPmailer for send the emails.
PHPmailer use resident email server of your system to operate. This means PHPmailer and Roundcube use same standard (inbox/outbox) folders of each user.
Then simply send the email using phpmailer and the email shown in Sent folder !! Look this message shows as unread in Roundcube, you need to set up a filter inside Roundcube if you want to mark as read and/or move this emails to a specific folder.
I have a script that runs a Java program to run some tests every night. It needs to email out the results of the tests, using JavaMail and a Google apps account.
How do I authenticate with Gmail (through the JavaMail API), without storing the password on the machine that runs the nightly tests? Can I get some sort of an Gmail authentication key that is valid for, say, a month? I don't mind refreshing the key every month, but don't want to keep the password on the test machine.
Google email accounts cost money so I would prefer not to create a new account just to email test results out.
I haven't tried that myself but you can try to send in the mail using the MX servers of googlemail. Currently these are
~ $ host -t MX googlemail.com
googlemail.com mail is handled by 40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
googlemail.com mail is handled by 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
googlemail.com mail is handled by 20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
googlemail.com mail is handled by 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
googlemail.com mail is handled by 30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
These are the servers responsible for inbound mails from the outside world, it's plain SMTP without the need of authentication (but you can try to start TLS to make the transfer more secure). There might be checks though, that prevent you from delivering mails to these servers (dyn-IP-checks, SFP, etc.) which is why this might fail.
If you don't want to send to a Google mail address you can try the same thing but replace the MX server of Google with the one responsible for the mail address you want to send to. Just use above call with the different domain or use one of the search results for "mx lookup" if you don't have that as command on your system.
How can I send mail via smtp using ssl? We are able to send the simple text mail, but it's not allowing the links or certain tags in the mail to pass, we tried using pear-mail.
Please suggest any options.
We are using third party GMAIL and hosting is in Godaddy. All mx record are fine and earlier we were able to deviver mails when we have not used ssl, also as i mentioned we are able to send the simple text mails with ssl, so please no answers regarding hostings, just any options how to use it with ssl.
You might want to look at phpmailer. You can use phpmailer to send outgoing messages through gmail's SMTP server (smtp.gmail.com), and it has options to connect to the SMTP server by SSL. phpmailer is very simple to setup - just a few PHP files to copy to your server. See https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer. You can start sending mail using the simple example at the github page above as a boilerplate.
I created a new installation of SharePoint2010. I am trying to configure the incoming e-mail but I seem not to find the link to do so.
I only get to see under E-Mail and Text Messages (SMS):
Configure outgoing e-mail settings | Configure mobile account
Thanks
Take a look at this tutorial: Installing and configuring SMTP and POP3 e-mail for sharepoint 2010
It's odd that the link is missing. How is your farm set up? The settings live at /_admin/IncomingEmail.aspx
I am using code to send email through SMTP that is given manually. I wish that user does not have to give the SMTP. My application should get SMTP automatically and use that.
Can I know what is the SMTP of the current ISP, with which my client is connected?
Thanks

You could try to read that from the user's e-mail clients; AFAIK each e-mail client (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird, Opera, Eudora) stores the SMTP server settings differently; so probably look for the most common ones (Thunderbird, Outlook, ?). Also, some people only use web-based e-mail (esp. gMail users), so they may not even have a SMTP setting stored anywhere.
Note: nosing around in other apps' settings can be seen as borderline spyware, so I suggest to get permission from the user before you start digging in their app settings.
No, I don't think this is possible. What you could try is to look if the SMTP server is configured in an other program. E.g. under Windows in Windows Mail. However, I don't know if it's worth the trouble. Today SMTP auth is common and probably no other program gives you access to the users credentials so you have to ask the user in all cases.
