gitlab can not send email via smtp - ruby-on-rails

Question

Can I skip the email confirmation step and enable the user ?
I followed by https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/6-4-stable/doc/install/installation.md
followed by each step.
But I can not get email confirmation so that no user can be confirmed.
Then I run the server by rails s -p 1987 -e production on the port 1987
The identical setting, I can receive email by my own rails app on other machines,
it's annoying me very much.

Don't know how to skip email confirmation and enable user, but with gitlab 6.7.5 these are my smtp settings (for icloud email server. Make sure you have logged in first into iCloud's web-email app, at least once):
file: /Users/git/gitlab/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb
# To enable smtp email delivery for your GitLab instance do next:
# 1. Rename this file to smtp_settings.rb
# 2. Edit settings inside this file
# 3. Restart GitLab instance
#
if Rails.env.production?
Gitlab::Application.config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.mail.me.com",
port: 587,
user_name: "youraccount#icloud.com",
password: "yourpasswd",
domain: "me.com",
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
end
Also remember to change the email_from attrbiute in your gitlab.yml file:
file: /Users/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
## Email settings
# Email address used in the "From" field in mails sent by GitLab
email_from: youraccount#icloud.com
After changing the smtp file, restart the gitlab service.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
