ActionMailer emails "sent" in development.log, but not received
I'm having problems actually sending via ActionMailer in development, on my localhost, with Rails 2.3.2 and Ruby 1.8.6. The development.log shows that it has "sent" the email with no errors, but the email is not received. I have tried multiple email addresses for sending and receiving and have tried multiple configs and plugins, but cannot get the email to send. Any help would be much appreciated - I feel like I'm dancing around a bunch of versio开发者_如何转开发ns of solutions for different versions of rails and ruby and can't nail it down. I would much appreciate any comments. Thanks!
Plugins:
- action mailer optional tls
- smtp_tls
Different email configs:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true, #works in ruby 1.8.7 and above
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'example.com',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'testacct',
:password => 'secret'
}
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:tls => :true,
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'testacct@gmail.com',
:password => 'secret'
#:enable_starttls_auto => true # for rails >= 2.2 && ruby >= 1.8.7
}
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = :true #try to force sending in development
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = :true
config.action_mailer.default_charset = "utf-8"
Development.log:

Put the following in config/environments/development.rb
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
It will override the settings in config/environment.rb
Also for rails 2.X
you'll need to setup:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "domain.com",
:user_name => "username@domain.com",
:password => "secret_passsword",
:authentication => :plain
}
You need to use true
and not :true
.
:tls => true
...
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true #try to force sending in development
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
In case anyone faces this problem, set "config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true" in development.rb in your environments folder and try sending mail again. This should raise whatever error is being encountered.
Sometimes in line 8 of smtp_tls.rb , the check_auth_args method accepts only 2 arguments : user and secret. Remove the 'authtype' argument if you see it and try again. Should work.
