I am trying to get a confirmation email sending using a gmail account. I have looked around and there is nothing that is obvious. There is no errors or anything, it just dosn't send
I have this as the initalizer:
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "<address>#gmail.com",
:password => "<password>",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = "localhost:3000"
You don't need tlsmail gem anymore at least with Rails 3.2
This will be sufficient
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'baci.lindsaar.net',
:user_name => '<username>',
:password => '<password>',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }
From the all-mighty-guide ActionMailer configuration for gmail
add tlsmail to gemfile
gem 'tlsmail'
run :
bundle install
add these settings to config/envirnoments/development.rb file
YourApplicationName::Application.configure do
require 'tlsmail'
Net::SMTP.enable_tls(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "gmail.com",
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => "<addreee>#gmail.com",
:password => "<password>"
}
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
You should check that my_user_name#gmail.com has actually sent the email. We have had issues with this in the past when sending verification emails out through Gmail's SMTP server, since sending in bulk end up not sending at all.
I suggest you log into my_user_name#gmail.com and verify that there are no problems and that the emails are sent.
If not, you may want try a service like Send Grid to send outgoing emails.
Alternatively, you can look into your server. Or if you are in development, have a look at log/development.log. I'm pretty sure that you can see in your logs that it's actually trying to send the mail.
The problem is that Google doesn't trust your local IP address and your mails won't get delivered (not even to the spam directory). There is no way to work around this but using a white-listed server.
You can try this out by deploying your app into a production server like Heroku and test it there.
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'baci.lindsaar.net',
:user_name => '<username>',
:password => '<password>',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }
The <username> means to fill in your real username? So does the <password>

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
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?visit_id=1-636342470835359266-2568809045&rd=1#cantsignin
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 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' }
When using SMTP settings in Rails for sending e-mail, you need to provide a username and password for it to send email from your account. But isn't it a little dangerous to put your password to the site's email account in plain text in your code? Is there a more secure way to do this?
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "address_here",
:port => 'port_#_here',
:domain => "example.com",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "user#example.com",
:password => "foobar",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
This is probably not much of an issue for the development environment, as you might be using a server that doesn't require authentication or a dummy account of some sort.
For the production environment the pattern I have seen/used most often is to keep information like usernames, passwords etc. within the environment itself e.g.:
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "address_here",
:port => 'port_#_here',
:domain => "example.com",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['EMAIL_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['EMAIL_PASSWORD'],
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
This way an attacker will have to gain access to your production box itself in order to get this info. If you're deploying your app to Heroku for example and using the Sendgrid plugin for you email - the plugin will make you follow that pattern.
