Amazon SES email delivery problems - ruby-on-rails

I have a rails application that is using Amazon SES service to send information emails to customers. In development environment this email functionality is working ok. However, when I run my application in my EC2 instance the emails are not sent anymore.
I have checked the logs, and everything looks good:
Rendered email_service/send_booking_request_customer_notification.html.erb (7.6ms)

I have checked business#yanpy.com is a verified sender email address. I even have sent a test email from SES console from business#yanpy.com to cliente.yanpy#gmail.com and the email is sent and received.
However, when I send these emails programatically, everything looks good, but the emails are not received.

I fixed it. I have realized I was missing my smtp configuration for my test environment in Rails.
I added:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
:user_name => "************", # Your SMTP user here.
:password => "*************", # Your SMTP password here.
:authentication => :login,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
to my environments/test.rb config file in Rails and it worked.

Sending mail with embedded image in Ruby

I want to send a mail with an attached image and embed this image in html. As a source for tag , What should I write and is there any missing header parts such a content_type ?
When I am doing real test, I send to a mail to my gmail account. I can see there is an attachment with name "unnamed" and I could not display image even when I download.
Gem: Pony
require 'pony'
Pony.override_options = { :via => :test }
Pony.mail(
:to => 'foo#bar',
:from => 'abc#abc.com',
:subject => 'test123',
:body => "<h1><strong>Dear X, check the newsletter ,<br></strong></h1> <img src='attached image' />",
:attachments => {"happy_image.jpg" => File.read("happy_image.jpg")}
)
puts Mail::TestMailer.deliveries
output:

You should be able to BASE64 encode the image, and use the resulting string as the src of the img tag.
For example:
<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAWQAAAD8CAYAAAB..."/>
Also make sure that your content type is set as text/html instead of text/plain. Looking at the mail, it seems that it's set to the latter, hence why images don't render and tags render as text. Add the following to your arguments to use text/html content type:
:headers => { 'Content-Type' => 'text/html' }

Rails Mailer issue with sending attchemnt over mail

I am migrating an application from Rails 2.3 to Rails 3.1, the emails are not working, when i send an email with attachment i see a plain/text email with the encoded pdf content in the email instead of as an attachment.
here is the command i used to send email
ret = UserMailer.return_forms(#customer[:email], #store, id, #customer[:document]).deliver
here is the definition of returns_form, the return_forms is a method in UserMailer class (class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base)
def return_forms(email, store, order, pdf_document_path)
load_smtp_settings("noreply")
#recipients = email
#subject = "#{business_name}: Return forms"
#body = "Please follow the instructions within the forms to return your merchandise. Thank You."
attachments['free_book.pdf'] = {mime_type: 'application/pdf',content: File.read(pdf_document_path) }
#from = email
#date = Time.zone.now
#headers = {}
end
I see the content as

The return_forms call should have a call for mail() method at the end. Something like:
mail(:from => your_from, :to => your_to, :subject => your_subject, :body => your_body)
It is also a good idea to enable mailer errors in your development.rb to see if any errors appear:
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

Mail to all user

I want to send a mail to all my users when an article is published. I have this code :
Mailer class
class AdminMailer < ApplicationMailer
def notification_mail(user)
#user = user
mail(to: #user.email, subject: '**TEST**')
end
end
Article.rb
after_create :send_email_to_users
def send_email_to_users
User.all.each do |user|
AdminMailer.notification_mail(user).deliver_now
end
end
Configuration
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:user_name => 'simon.m#********.com',
:password => '********',
:address => 'smtp.*******.com',
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
This code seems to work because when I post an article I can see on my console that e-mail are send but I didn't receive them into my mailbox.

Anyone know how to make it works ?
Make sure you have deliveries and delivery errors enabled for the environment your app is running in.
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
Last time I did this I had to enable less secure apps on my google apps account, it might be the same for you. It's hard to say without any errors. Visit https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps to enable that. More info
Make sure Google hasn't blocked your IP. Go to http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and click continue.

Seeing some sort of error would help to narrow this down but hopefully this helps!

Attachment not sent properly in rails using ActionMailer

I am trying to send xls file via ActionMailer.
mailer = ActionMailer::Base.mail(:to => "reciever#gmail.com", :from => "sender#gmail.com", :content_type=>"application/vnd.ms-excel", :body=> '')
mailer.attachments['filename.xls']= {mime_type: 'application/vnd.ms-excel', content: File.read("filePath.xls")}
mailer.deliver!
I am able to receive the mail as well.
But somehow the attachment is not correct, it shows up as noname and below is the content I get in the file (I am copy pasting the exact contents)

I am sure I am missing something simple, I am unable to figure out what. Can someone help?
Try this:--
mailer = ActionMailer::Base.mail(:to => "reciever#gmail.com", :from => "sender#gmail.com", :content_type=>"application/vnd.ms-excel", :body=> '')
mailer.attachments["filename.xls"]= File.read("filePath.xls")
mailer.deliver!

ActionMailer responds with "501 5.5.4 Invalid argument"

I'm working on an application with Rails 4 on Ruby 2.0.0. The application sends out an email after a registration in Devise.
This is the code that sends the email:
app/models/sponsor.rb:
after_create :send_email_to_admin
private
def send_email_to_admin
AdminMailer.new_sponsor_email(self).deliver
end
app/mailers/admin_mailer.rb
class AdminMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default to: '**removed**'
def new_sponsor_email(sponsor)
#sponsor = sponsor
p #sponsor
mail(subject: "New Sponsor Registration")
end
end
And this is the generated email from the log file:

when I try to test the code by creating a sponsor, I just get this error:
Net::SMTPSyntaxError in Devise::RegistrationsController#create
501 5.5.4 Invalid argument
My understanding is that this is typically because the email is and invalid email, but all of my emails are very simple, in the format of name#domain.tld and no-reply#domain.tld.
The issue seemed to be that I was using "domain" in my smtp_settings. When I removed that, I was able to send emails from both Mailgun and Gmail
