I want to use mailcatcher to check if my mails were send. They weren't and i wonder why, because the mailer is generated and definitely called.
So in my config/enviroment/development.rb i wrote:
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "localhost", :port => 1025 }
my call looks like this:
OrderMailer.send_new_order(#order).deliver
and finally the generated controller like this:
class OrderMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default from: "from#example.com"
def send_new_order(order)
#greeting = "Hi"
mail to: "to#example.org", subject: "Test"
end
end
And mailcatcher runs of course. So why wasn't the mail send?
I found out, that I used the wrong SMTP Adress for the development env.
It had to be
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "127.0.0.1", :port => 1025 }
instead of
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "localhost", :port => 1025 }
https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher/issues/182
$ mailcatcher -f -v
Starting MailCatcher
==> smtp://127.0.0.1:1025
==> http://127.0.0.1:1080
==> SMTP: Received message from '<donotreply#xxx.com>' (676 bytes)

I have following smtp configuration on my development.rb
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.zoho.com",
:port => 465,
:user_name => "xxx#xxx.com",
:password => "xxxx",
:authentication => :login,
:ssl => true,
:tls => true,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
I works when I send via rails console , but gives error of
Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
):
when I send via mailer class.
It seems like gmail is blocking you temporarily while you are trying to reach through controller.
Kindly have a check with this link

Hope this helps.
I have following on config/application.rb
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'xxxxx.com' }
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.mandrillapp.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'xxxxx.com',
:user_name => 'xxx.xxxxx#gmail.com',
:password => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }
And in app/mailers/welcome_mailer.rb
def welcome_email(user)
#user = user
#lang=I18n.locale
if #user.email.present?
begin
headers = {
:subject => welcome_email_subject(#user).to_s,
:from => ADMINISTRATIVE_EMAIL,
:to => user.email
}
mail(headers)
rescue Exception => e
abort
end
end
end
I have a template on /app/views/welcome_mailer/welcome_email.html.erb
I am using this mailer action for sending welcome emails along with confirmation link by using devise.For that I have done the following on /config/initializers/welcome_mailers.rb
module Devise::Models::Confirmable
def send_on_create_confirmation_instructions
if self.email
WelcomeMailer.welcome_email(self).deliver
end
end
def send_reset_password_instructions
generate_reset_password_token! if should_generate_reset_token?
WelcomeMailer.generate_password(self).deliver
end
end
Even though the development I have used same smtp configurations I am getting empty body for the mail sent on production and the same working fine in development(local).By the way my production environment is Amazon EC2. Initally 15 days before I have got the same issue and I solved by changing the smtp account.Now it is not happening in any order.Suggest with your feedback or comments.
You can overwrite the template route in the mailer config:
class WelcomeMailer < ActionMailer::Base
...
self.template_root = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/mailers" # Rails.root in 3.x
...
end
I defined a custom delivery method, and load it in an initializer:
ActionMailer::Base.add_delivery_method :custom, CustomDelivery
I then added config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :custom to both development.rb and production.rb.
But when I want to send an e-mail
UserMailer.authorize(user).deliver
It fails with something related to SMTP (ArgumentError: A sender (Return-Path, Sender or From) required to send a message
from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p0/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.4.4/lib/mail/network/delivery_methods/smtp.rb:99:in deliver!') – which I don't want to use.
Why is it not picking up the custom delivery method?
UPDATE:
When I try from the console, I notice the following:
irb(main):019:0> UserMailer.delivery_method
=> :custom
irb(main):020:0> UserMailer.authorize(user).delivery_method
=> #<Mail::SMTP:0x00000100bdc738 #settings={:address=>"localhost", :port=>25, :domain=>"localhost.localdomain", :user_name=>nil, :password=>nil, :authentication=>nil, :enable_starttls_auto=>true, :openssl_verify_mode=>nil, :ssl=>nil, :tls=>nil}>
(Btw I searched for "SMTP" in my project and there are 0 occurrences)
Configure the action_mailer delivery_method with your custom delivery class:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = MyCustomDelivery
That class should implement a deliver! instance method that takes an instance of the Mail gem. Something like this:
class MyCustomDelivery
def deliver!(mail)
puts "MAIL FROM: #{mail.from}"
puts "RCPT TO: #{mail.to}"
puts "DATA: #{mail.to_s}"
end
end
Have you configured SMTP via environment.rb ? Here is how mine looks like.
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:domain => 'gmail.com',
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:tls => true,
:authentication => :plain,
:charset => 'utf-8',
:user_name => ENV['GMAIL_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['GMAIL_PASSWORD'],
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
I built an application with Rails 3 and I made a simple contact us page to send mail through my SMTP server.
The problem is my app can send mail when I run it in my local host (my pc), but it doesn't work when I run the app in the hosted server (hostgator).
The funny stuff is that the smtp server is the same!
This is the config in my localhost(and it works!):
config/environments/developer.rb
# ActionMailer Config
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.default :charset => "utf-8"
config/initializers/setup_mail.rb
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "mail.mydomain.org",
:port => 26,
:domain => "app.mydomain.org",
:user_name => "register#app.mydomain.org",
:password => "********",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => false
}
The url for my host server is app.mydomain.org, so in the hosted app I changed only this:
config/environments/development.rb
# ActionMailer Config
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'mydomain.org' }
...
In the host server, just for now I run the app with WEBrick in development mode.
And I get a timeout error:
....
Timeout::Error (execution expired):
app/controllers/contact_us_controller.rb:13:in `create'
...
Am I missing somenthing??
EDIT & SOLVED:
Hostgator support staff have just find out the cause of this issue.
In the ActionMailer setup, the :address has to be localhost, and not mail.mydomain.org. So the ActionMailer would be:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "localhost",
:port => 26,
:domain => "app.mydomain.org",
:user_name => "register#app.mydomain.org",
:password => "********",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => false
}
I think you mean development.rb, not developer.rb. This setting only runs in development and assuming you've set RAILS_ENV as production on the server, it will be production.rb, not development.rb, is going to be processed.
If the server is the same on both, you could move this to application.rb (or a script in config/initializers). You might want a different setup for production though, so that it's pointing to localhost. That may also fix the problem here, in case there's some DNS issue or server config preventing the outgoing SMTP request.
I am using devise_invitable to invite users, it is sending mails when i run the app in development mode, but in production mode it is not sending mails, also showing no errors. Other forgot password is sending mails.
i have setup a setup.rb in initializers
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'mydomain',
:user_name => 'email#gmail.com',
:password => 'secret',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
I tried setting this in production.rb in environments also but still not working :(
i am using rails 3
Try to enable delivering in action mailer for production environment:
config/environments/production.rb
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'yoursite.com' }
