I'm working on adjusting the url appearing in a mailer created with,
<%= controller_url %>
but when I change the default with the following command
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "example.com", :protocol => 'https', :subdomain => "www"}
the url remains unchanged as
http://localhost:8000/controller
What are some possible causes for this not working? I looked pretty thoroughly through my project folder for places where the host or subdomain might be defined, but found nothing.
EDIT:
It seems I needed to restart my server after making the changes.
I don't know how you trying but I can show my files to compare with yours.
So my development file is /config/environments/development.rb
config.consider_all_requests_local = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 }
and my production file is /config/environments/production.rb
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "https://example.com" } #=> Or https://www.example.com
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:user_name => ENV['USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'example.com',
:address => 'smtp.example.net',
:port => 321,
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
and it's working perfectly.
Remember these:
Development file is working only when a project is a development mode
Production file is working only when a project is a production mode
And make sure you restarted the server after change anything on related to configuration
You can check the logs while sending mail what's happening and for production run follow this command rails server -e production

So i've look at a few similar posts here on SO, but for some reason my sendgrid config in heroku is not working.
Here's my config / production.rb
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'poliking.herokuapp.com' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:from => 'wesleycreations#gmail.com',
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'poliking.herokuapp.com',
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Everything worked perfectly fine in development. I tried all the obvious, YES variables are properly set and YES I enabled my gmail to allow mail from less secure apps.
added gem sendgrid gem to my gem file
gemfile.rb
gem 'sendgrid-ruby'
Again, everything working fine in development and I am receiving email to same email address. But this isn't working in production. Any thoughts?
Here's the log:
...MailForm::Notifier#contact: processed outbound mail in 3.3ms...
Delivered mail 5f246d3cbf2d9_42af68b690f1c810d6#dad81cb4-1ce9-440e-b8...
With config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false, the errors raised during e-mail delivery will be suppressed.
Therefore, change that option to true so that you can diagnose the problem.
I have an app that I am trying to put onto production. When the user signs up they have an activation email that should be sent to their email accounts but I am getting stopped with this error:
ActionView::Template::Error(Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true)
The problem with this error is that I have everything set up correctly in my files. For example my production.rb file inside my environments folder looks like this:
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'secret-everglades-54128.heroku.com'}
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'heroku.com',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
My enviorments.rb file looks like this:
# Load the Rails application.
require_relative 'application'
# Initialize the Rails application.
Rails.application.initialize!
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'secret-everglades-54128.heroku.com'}
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
This does not make any sense to me whatsoever, if anyone could shed some light on this problem I will be very great full.
The problem was that I had errors still concuring when I ran the command
git push heroku master
The problem was that I had my host set in the actually environment.rb file which wasn't needed so I removed that and once I did that I was able to get everything to work.
When I go to signup a new user on the site I fill in the form, click submit, and it sits there for a few seconds, then dispays 'We're sorry, but something went wrong.'
The Log is below...
https://gist.github.com/th3cuda/225f1352a7cfeee3f8f8
This is deployed on digitalocean.
production.rb
# Use default logging formatter so that PID and timestamp are not suppressed.
config.log_formatter = ::Logger::Formatter.new
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'MY_HOST' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.MY_DOMAIN.com',
:port => 465,
:domain => 'MY_DOMAIN',
:user_name => 'MY_EMAIL',
:password => 'PASSWORD',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
end
Since it's taking a while, it could be looking for sendmail (it uses /usr/sbin/sendmail by default) to send the email.
I would make sure that it's in place, that it can be used by the app, and that the config/(Dev, Prod, etc.) allows it to deliver email.
Is any of that helpful? Let me know what you find so I can give a better answer.
Sorry to add another answer, but formatting here is important.
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'MY_HOST' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtpout.secureserver.net',
:port => 80,
:domain => 'www.example.com',
:user_name => 'johndoe#example.com',
:password => 'yourpassword',
:authentication => 'plain'
}
end
Notice I removed the starttls option, and set port to 80. Obviously, replace with your real values. If you're using constants, please avoid using those until this gets resolved.
I've looked all over Google and stackoverflow for an answer, but none of them work.
I'm trying to set up smtp emailing for user confirmation after signing up. It works fine in development. Even with MailCatcher on, it bypasses it somehow and sends to the right email from my assigned gmail.
Here's what's in development.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000'}
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {:address => "localhost", :port => 1025}
Here's what's in production.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {:host => 'myapp.herokuapp.com', :protocol => 'http'} #I've also tried it without ":protocol => 'http'"
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain, # I've also tried :login
:enable_starttls_auto => true, # Also tried tls => true
:user_name => 'myemail#gmail.com',
:password => 'mypassword'
} #I've also tried having the attribute :domain => 'myapp.herokuapp.com',
In config/initializers/devise.rb
config.mailer_sender = 'please-change-me-at-config-initializers-devise#example.com' #It still sends from myemail#gmail.com even with this line uncommented.
I don't know how to paste out my entire 7 pages (in word document) worth of heroku logs in code block, so I've pasted them in a google doc.
google doc of heroku logs (I believe I highlighted the part where it started to go wrong on page 1-2):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G-cCX7T1sPL5XtjyjHRaWmzfaBbWkuTR2edsDmDm1Pc/edit?usp=sharing
I'm not sure where it's finding the correct email to send from in development. I'm still a novice at this.
edit: I just found out that users that were registered before adding confirmation are not able to log in as well, so it might be a users problem with heroku. But everything still works fine in development.
Help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
You might miss this config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
Please check if your gmail asked for captcha for sending the mail or not. and to debug the error please make config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true on your production.rb .Please check the similar question Net::SMTPAuthenticationError when sending email from Rails app (on staging environment)
I'm sure this has been asked a million times before but I can't find anything that works for me so I'm asking again!
I just need a way of sending emails using ActionMailer in rails 3. I have followed numerous tutorials including the Railscasts tutorial on the new ActionMailer and I can see the mails being generated but I don't receive them.
I have tried a bunch of different ways but they generally amount to configuring the following settings
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "xxx#gmail.com",
:password => "yyy",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
I have tried the above code (with valid gmail details of course) in my config/environment.rb, config/environments/development.rb and currently have it in its own initialiser config/initialisers/setup_mail.rb
I have also tried with a few different smtp servers including Gmail and Sendgrid, adjusting the smtp settings accordingly but still nothing. I can see the mail in the terminal and the development log and that's it.
Does anyone know of any other gotcha's that I may have missed that need to be setup for ActionMailer to work? Failing that is there a way of getting more information about why the mails aren't being sent? I have
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
set in my config/development.rb but the development log still just shows the same as I see in the terminal.
For what it's worth, I am developing on a Ubuntu 10.04 laptop just in case there's any specific setup needed for that.
Many thanks
Well I have resolved the issue, but quite why this works and the other methods did not, I don't know.
The solution was to create an initialiser in config/initialisers/setup_mail.rb containing the following
if Rails.env != 'test'
email_settings = YAML::load(File.open("#{Rails.root.to_s}/config/email.yml"))
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = email_settings[Rails.env] unless email_settings[Rails.env].nil?
end
I then added config/email.yml containing the details of the dev and production email accounts
development:
:address: smtp.gmail.com
:port: 587
:authentication: plain
:user_name: xxx
:password: yyy
:enable_starttls_auto: true
production:
:address: smtp.gmail.com
:port: 587
:authentication: plain
:user_name: xxx
:password: yyy
:enable_starttls_auto: true
Like I say, no idea why, but this seemed to do the trick. Thanks all for the pointers
I have the following in config/environments/development.rb
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
The actual mail-configuration, config.actionmailer.* i have placed in config\application.rb.
Hope this helps :)
Try using 'sendmail' instead of 'smtp'.
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail
ActionMailer::Base.sendmail_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "xxx#gmail.com",
:password => "yyy",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Three things.
First, the port is an integer and does not need quotes, as in your first example. (But I think a string should still work.)
Second, don't forget to restart your server each time you modify this (or any) initializer file. This could explain why you didn't see an error after adding:
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
Without having that error message, it's hard to determine why the mail wasn't going but now is. One possiblity is your use of double quotes around the password. If you were using a strong password and had a token in your password that wasn't escaped it could have been reinterpreted. (i.e. "P#ssw\0rd" would become P#ssrd). For just this reason, I always use single quotes in my code unless I specifically need the syntactic sugar.
Lastly, enable_starttls_auto: true is the default and unnecessary.
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail
and
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
were the two necessary steps that got me over this issue
Just put all config to:
config/environments/development.rb
I mean
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "xxx#gmail.com",
:password => "yyy",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
and
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
It worked for me.
In addition to, your gmail username does not alias.

My two pennies worth:
I had those exact same symptoms with Rails 5.1: Nothing happened, the settings in my development.rb file were utterly ignored...
Then I remembered to restart the machine! (which solved magically the issue)
This had been pointed out by a couple of previous comments.
The issue is tricky however because you do not expect this behavior. In my view, the default comments in development.rb are, in this respect, misleading:
# In the development environment your application's code is reloaded on
# every request. This slows down response time but is perfect for development
# since *you don't have to restart the web server when you make code changes*.
