Ruby on Rails: How to Configure the Devise Mailer? - ruby-on-rails

I have made an application on Ruby on Rails. I'm using Devise and I need to use the recoverable password feature.
I found these configurations on development.rb:
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 = false
config.action_mailer.default :charset => "utf-8"
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: 2525,
domain: "gmail.com",
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: "MY_EMAIL",
password: "MY_PASS"
}
When I test it, it looks okay, It doesn't throw any exception on the application, but the email never comes. Please, how can I configure this?

For using locally, I recommend using something like letter_opener.
For deploying the app I'd recommend using a service like Sendgrid, it has a free tier that is good enough for small apps.
If you insist on using GMail for e-mails, try using TLS:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
domain: "gmail.com",
port: 587,
user_name: "jorge#example.org",
password: "your_password",
authentication: 'plain',
enable_starttls_auto: true
}

Stumbled across this older question and figured I would provide a current answer here. If you're trying to use a Gmail account with your Devise Rails app for any reason (prototyping, developing, etc - no judgements), Pedro's answer is spot on with 1 exception. The password for the SMTP server is not your user password. This may have been ok in the past, but now you have to generate a new app password separate from your user password.

ActionMailer not sending mail in development using Spree

I'm using Spree to develop an E-commerce. I was using part this tutorial to send emails using ActionMailer, but I can't make it work.
My controller
UserMailer.sign_up_confirmation(spree_current_user).deliver
My develpment.rb
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
user_name: ENV['gmail_username'],
password: ENV['gmail_password'],
authentication: 'plain',
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
There is no error in the console and the mail it seems to be delivered right, but there is no email on my gmail account. I used this code in a previous project and worked fine. So, is Spree doing something to my email delivering?

Mail sending issue using dreamhost with ruby on rails

I'm trying to send mail using using dreamhost credential with ruby on rails.
My development.rb file mail setting as following.
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: "dreamhost.com",
port: 587,
domain: "www.dreamhost.com",
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: ENV['mailer'],
password: ENV['mailer_password']
}
Mail is not able to send using above mail configuration I'm getting error like Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused for "dreamhost.com" port 587).
Can any one help me for this issue?
This is my profile I use on Dreamhost
config.action_mailer.perform_caching = false
# Ignore bad email addresses and do not raise email delivery errors.
# Set this to true and configure the email server for immediate delivery to raise delivery errors.
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_options = {from: 'notifications#mywebsite.org'}
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'sub5.mail.dreamhost.com',
port: 587,
domain: 'mywebsite.org',
user_name: 'notifications#mywebsite.org',
password: 'mypassword',
authentication: :login,
enable_starttls_auto: false }
Note that sub5.mail.dreamhost.com is domain-dependent address of your datacenter server.
NB: Password should be hidden into ENV variables or other external file outside version control

Mandrill invalid key error

I have a problem with an app developing on cloud9. I'm using mandrill to send email but it gives me a problem with configuration. It seems to be an invalid key error but in local development it works with the same configuration...
There are my smtp in development environment:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: config.app_domain }
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.mandrillapp.com',
port: '587',
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: ENV['mandrill_username'],
password: ENV['mandrill_password'],
authentication: :plain,
domain: ENV['mandrill_domain']
}
Thanks for help.
Since Cloud9 workspaces are hosted on GCE servers, there are restrictions in place for sending email from a GCE instance. The following article explains the restrictions:

Setup SMTP settings for sending mail in rails

I've followed the following tutorial to create a contact form.
Everything was fine, but as tutorial says For real e-mail delivery, you should set up SMTP in the environment settings. how can I set up SMTP?
As Suggested in this link I created and edited the smtp_settings.rb; But No luck at all. It still doesnot send the email to the real user.
smtp_settings.rb
if Rails.env.production?
Gitlab::Application.config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: 587,
user_name: "myaccount#gmail.com",
password: "abcpassword",
domain: "mail.google.com",
authentication: :login,
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
end
It may be because your smtp_settings.rb file isn't being found by Rails, or that the delivery_method line isn't being recognised..
Try moving the file to /config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb if it isn't there already, and changing the contents slightly to
if Rails.env.production?
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: 587,
user_name: "myaccount#gmail.com",
password: "abcpassword",
domain: "mail.google.com",
authentication: :login,
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
end
It could also be that the settings are only applied for production, if you're trying this out locally in development you'll need to remove the first line if Rails... and the last line end like so..
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: 587,
user_name: "myaccount#gmail.com",
password: "abcpassword",
domain: "mail.google.com",
authentication: :login,
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
After any changes to this file you'll need to restart your rails server or rails console session for the changes to take effect.

How to send emails in development environment using gmail SMTP and devise?

I am trying to send emails while being on localhost and using devise (I need emails for user registration and password reset)
I have put this in my environment.rb file
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: 587,
domain: "gmail.com",
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: ENV["username"],
password: ENV["password"]
}
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
but I am not getting any mails and not seeing any error too (devise says ).
What am I missing ?
Where can I see the log for emails (success or
failure) ?
EDIT - OK, it worked after adding this line
:openssl_verify_mode => 'none'
Check this too rails email error - 530-5.5.1 Authentication Required.
