I am trying to send emails via action mailer. I have the same config for production and for development:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'ee.ex.my_domain.net',
port: 465,
domain: 'my_domain',
user_name: 'email#my_mail.com',
password: 'my_pass',
authentication: :ntlm,
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "localhost:3000" }
The only difference between development and production config is the host. For production I use an existing url, on my local machine it works ok but when I try it on the server I got this error:
Net::SMTPSyntaxError (504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type)
I have had this error before on my local machine but I changed the authentication to :ntml and it works fine.
UPDATE
tried in server console (code from ntlm gem github page)
require 'ntlm/smtp'
smtp = Net::SMTP.new('smtp.example.com')
smtp.start('localhost.localdomain', 'Domain\\User', 'Password', :ntlm) do |smtp|
smtp.send_mail(mail_body, from_addr, to_addr)
end
but have the same error

I am working on a basic app called PhotoApp, where I am learning how to set up SMTP with rails. I have used basic Ruby with SMTP sometime ago, and I know my email works, just the emails sent gets to spam folder.
But when I am trying to configure SMTP on Rails, I am getting ArgumentError (SMTP-AUTH requested but missing user name):, and that's the primary reason why the app, when pushed to heroku, crashed every time a user signs up.
Here's my config/environments/development.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost:8080' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
domain: 'example.net',
authentication: 'plain',
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: 'gmail_email',
password: '...'
}
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
I am running the server on localhost:8080, in development mode, so my host is set to localhost:8080.
Apart from that I am not able to get my app working with my gmail username with SMTP in rails.
Edit, this ruby code works:
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require 'net/smtp'
message = <<~EOF
From: mygmail#gmail.com
To: someone#protonmail.com
Subject: Hello!
Hello!
#{"HELLO ".*(50).delete_suffix(?\s)}
EOF
Net::SMTP.new('smtp.gmail.com', 587).tap(&:enable_starttls_auto).start('gmail.com', 'mygmail#gmail.com', 'mygmailpass', :plain) do |smtp|
smtp.send_message message, 'mygmail#gmail.com', 'someone#protonmail.com'
end
But as a newbie to rails, I can't get actionmailer working when the same email is used in the config file...
I have a action mailer method as something like this:
def mail
#receiver = User.where(status: 2).pluck(:email)
mail(bcc:#receiver, to: "username#gmail.com")
end
application.yml looks like this:
SMTP_ADDRESS: 'smtp.gmail.com'
SMTP_PORT: 587
SMTP_HOST: 'localhost:3000'
SMTP_DOMAIN: 'localhost:3000'
SMTP_USERNAME: 'user#gmail.com'
SMTP_PASSWORD: 'xxxxx'
SUPER_ADMIN_EMAIL: 'super_admin#mailinator.com'
developmet.rb looks like this:
config.action_mailer.asset_host = ENV["SMTP_HOST"]
# config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :letter_opener
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
#Enter the smtp provider here ex: smtp.mandrillapp.com
address: ENV["SMTP_ADDRESS"],
port: ENV['SMTP_PORT'].to_i,
#Enter the smtp domain here ex: vendaxo.com
domain: ENV["SMTP_DOMAIN"],
#Enter the user name for smtp provider here
user_name: ENV["SMTP_USERNAME"],
#Enter the password for smtp provider here
password: ENV["SMTP_PASSWORD"],
authentication: 'plain',
enable_starttls_auto: true
Where receivers are kept in BCC but "username#gmail.com" will be able to see the BCCd receivers. This is working fine when I send the mails from my local host. When receivers are sent emails, all of them are in BCC and one 'username#gmail.com' is able to see all the receivers.
But when I do the same thing on production server with similar application.yml configuration changing the host and port the username#gmail.com is NOT GETTING the emails of BCCd receivers.
I think if you are running your production server on AWS EC2 (may be other providers too), every time you do some changes to your application.yml or any other shared file, you need to restart the app server in order to apply the changed configurations . In my case I had to restart the PUMA, and the one default email started to get BCCd email ids.
I have problem with sending emails from localhost.
it was working on linux and now I'm trying to run my app on mac and it doesn't work already.
I have an error:
ArgumentError in Devise::RegistrationsController#create
SMTP-AUTH requested but missing user name
in config/environments/development.rb:
#Action Mailer config
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
# Send email in development mode.
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: "587",
domain: "mail.google.com",
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: ENV["GMAIL_USER_ID"],
password: ENV["GMAIL_PASSWORD"]
}
My env variables are good, I tried put my credential into code as well and it still doesn't work :/
I checked similiar topics but didn't found the solution.
What can I try?
I read:
I tried put my credential into code as well and it still doesn't work :/
But have you tried replacing your var env with your gmail id/password like this ?
#Action Mailer config
**********
user_name: "my_username",
password: "my_password"
}
Just to be sure.
Ok, solved.
credentials didn't work because I havn't restarted my server (stupid laziness)
my env vars didn't work because I've puted them into ~.profile but it work in ~.bash_profile, that was helpful (I use OS X Yosemite).
I am trying to setup action_mailer with Rails 4.1.0 to send emails.
In my config/environments/{env}.rb, I have:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.mandrillapp.com',
port: 587,
domain: 'domain.com',
authentication: 'login',
user_name: 'email#domain.com',
password: 'pass',
enable_starttls_auto: true }
It's working fine in development, but in prod it's trying to connect to localhost.
m = Mail.new
m.delivery_method
=> #<Mail::SMTP:0xbd79fdac #settings={:address=>"localhost", :port=>25, :domain=>"localhost.localdomain", :user_name=>nil, :password=>nil, :authentication=>nil, :enable_starttls_auto=>true, :openssl_verify_mode=>nil, :ssl=>nil, :tls=>nil}>
But when I do "puts Rails.application.config.action_mailer" Im getting the correct config
{:raise_delivery_errors=>false, :default_url_options=>{:host=>"domain.com"}, :delivery_method=>:smtp, :smtp_settings=>{:address=>"smtp.mandrillapp.com", :port=>587, :domain=>"domain.com", :authentication=>"login", :user_name=>"email#domain.com", :password=>"password", :enable_starttls_auto=>true}, :assets_dir=>"xxx", :javascripts_dir=>"xxx", :stylesheets_dir=>"xxx", :asset_host=>nil, :relative_url_root=>nil}
Any idea?
The Mail gem won't use your ActionMailer config by default. ActionMailer uses Mail but those configuration settings will only apply if you send mail via ActionMailer.
If it's working in your dev mode, then you certainly have configured the Mail gem separately in your development.rb environment file, or in an environment specific initializer.
I forgot I had this config in my development.rb
Mail.defaults do
delivery_method Rails.configuration.action_mailer.delivery_method, Rails.configuration.action_mailer.smtp_settings
end
You need to add the host option for the default_url_options hash on the production.rb file, like so:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => ENV['HOST_DEFAULT_URL'],
only_path: false }
That should do the trick.
I'm getting an error when sending out mail from the Production environment, specifically:
Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (530-5.5.1 Authentication Required)
On my local machine and development environment I'm declaring the passwords using ENV[GMAIL_USERNAME] and ENV[GMAIL_PASSWORD] and it's working fine, where the declared ENV is stored in my .bash_profile
# Development Environment for Action Mailer config
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: '0.0.0.0:3000' }
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.default charset: 'utf-8'
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
domain: 'mydomain.com',
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: ENV["GMAIL_USERNAME"],
password: ENV["GMAIL_PASSWORD"]
}
# Production Environment for Action Mailer config
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'mydomain.com' }
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
config.action_mailer.default charset: 'utf-8'
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: "smtp.gmail.com",
port: 587,
domain: "mydomain.com",
authentication: "plain",
enable_starttls_auto: true,
user_name: ENV["GMAIL_USERNAME"],
password: ENV["GMAIL_PASSWORD"]
}
Unfortunately, in Production I get an error when sending mail. However, if I hardcode the username and password in environments/production.rb it works. The ENV["GMAIL_USERNAME"] and `ENV["GMAIL_PASSWORD"] is set in the .bash_profile:
export GMAIL_USERNAME="hello#mydomain.com"
export GMAIL_PASSWORD="mypassword"
I thought it would it was the app unable to call ENV["GMAIL_USERNAME"] and ENV["GMAIL_PASSWORD"] but when I jump into the production rails console and puts ENV["GMAIL_USERNAME"] it outputs the correct credentials.
I have restarted Apache and restarted my app multiple times but I'm puzzled what to do next.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you in advanced.
Whose bash profile? Your users? Apache won't read those profiles on startup as it doesn't run bash to start the server.. Your profile gets sourced when you login to the server. Which is why it works when you test.
You need to make sure that environment variables are defined in the script or the environment that apache runs under. Depending upon your server this could be in /etc/apache2/envvars or added to the startup script for apache.
