Sending Email using Ruby

I am getting the following error while trying to send an email.

 Errno::ECONNREFUSE开发者_高级运维D: Connection refused - connect(2)

Code that sends the email

 Reminder.new_event(event_owner.email).deliver!

My Email settings are

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
    :port => 587,
    :domain => "google.com",
    :authentication =>"login",
    :user_name => "email address",
    :password => "password",
    :enable_starttls_auto => true
  }

Could you please help me. Thanks

Try with

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "google.com",
:authentication =>"plain",
:user_name => "email address",
:password => "password",
}

Note the:

:authentication =>"plain",

and

:enable_starttls_auto => true

is the default value, no need to specify it.

Try the following in your config/application.rb file :

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
  :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
  :port => 587,
  :domain => "google.com",
  :authentication =>"plain",
  :user_name => "email address",
  :password => "password",
  :enable_starttls_auto => true
}

To send the email, try (note, without ! at the end)

Reminder.new_event(event_owner.email).deliver

And try sending a test email to an email address that is not the same as the sending gmail account (as gmail won't allow that through).

I did only have success when omitting both :port and :domain, but had to set :tls to true.

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { 
    :tls => true,
    :address => "smtp.gmail.com", 
    :authentication => :plain, 
    :user_name => "full-email-address", 
    :password => "password" 
  }
