I have Users that are able to invite others by email to a project they are working on but I keep getting the following error-
Net::SMTPAuthenticationError
Here is how I have mail settings configured for my production environment
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'myapp.herokuapp.com' }
#Sending email on the production side
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "gmail.com",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "example#gmail.com",
:password => "password"
}
It works in my local environment using sqlite3 as I expect but when I push to heroku it throws the above error after running heroku logs. I believe my config settings to be correct and obviously heroku uses postgresql, so what am I missing here?
Thanks for you r attention.
I found the reason here How to send confirmation e-mails using gmail smtp service for registration using devise under development mode locally?
Google had detected some "suspicious" activity on the newly created account and was blocking me from sending emails. After verifying the account I was able to send emails with the above config and switching :domain => "heroku.com"

I am trying to send emails through my godaddy shared hosting account.
I have setup the email: hello#example.com
In rails i have the following in both:
app/config/environments/development
app/config/environments/production
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'mail.thaismilejersey.com',
:port => '25',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['EMAIL_ADDRESS'],
:password => ENV['EMAIL_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'thaismilejersey.com',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:openssl_verify_mode => 'none'
}
When I run this in both development and production locally, the emails are sent and I receive them fine.
When I deploy to heroku, everything seems to work, but the emails never actually arrive in my inbox.
ps: I have tried specifying the username and password directly rather than variables but it makes no difference.
Does anyone have any experience doing this or could help me out at all?
Thanks
Strange behaviour I have. I'm using gmail to send my emails in my Rails app. I have my gmail configured to accept less secure apps.
However I send one email and then when I go to my google account it prompts me to restore the account via my phone.
After that, my app no longer sends email and I get this in my Heroku logs:
Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (534-5.7.9 Please log in with your web browser and then try again.
My production.rb is set up this way:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:user_name => 'xxx#gmail.com',
:password => 'xxxxxx',
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
}
Anybody any ideas?
I think you have to set the domain to gmail.com
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "gmail.com",
:user_name => "xxx#gmail.com",
:password => "xxxxxxx",
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
If it worked then ok, if not try to change the :authentication to :login.
Advice: Check Gmail's security events too and double-check that all security settings are intact.
So I had several problems. The one that was caused by my inattention was that I didn't read Figaro gem docs properly and I wasn't sending out the proper info to Heroku with figaro heroku:set -e production.
Secondly my account would go into lockdown after I created it and sent first email. Steps to do:
enable two-step verifiation
generate app specific keys
put them in your config/application.yml if you're using Figaro
push and run figaro command
you might have to clear CAPTCHA on gmail see here

I'm getting this error in production when trying to create a user (i'm using the devise gem).
EOFError (end of file reached):
I hit this problem before and it was due to my smtp settings using zoho mail.
I believe my configuration below is what fixed the problem:
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.zoho.com",
:port => 465,
:domain => 'example.com',
:user_name => 'user#example.com',
:password => 'password',
:authentication => :login,
:ssl => true,
:tls => true,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Now we've added SSL to the site and I believe that is what is causing this error to occur now.
Does anyone have any insight into this error or zoho mail smtp settings with SSL?
This error was caused by not having my config/initializers/devise.rb specifying the correct email address for config.mailer_sender.
Also! I made this additional mistake and had the same issue: I used my own domain instead of the mail server domain for the "domain" variable.
Your environment variable should be:
GMAIL_DOMAIN=gmail.com
Or for the example above:
:domain => 'gmail.com',
I found one cause for the error here => https://stackoverflow.com/a/40354121/6264112
But this didn't solve my issue. While I wasn't getting any errors, my emails were still not working through Zoho so I found another solution that works perfectly for my needs...
1) Connect Zoho to gmail using SMTP. I setup my zoho email as an alias for my personal gmail account so zoho emails are forwarded to gmail and I can reply to them IN gmail FROM my zoho email address. This should be done anyways so you never have to login to zoho. Just do all emailing from gmail.
2) Connect ActionMailer to gmail account NOT zoho.
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:user_name => ENV["gmail_username"],
:password => ENV["gmail_password"],
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Now, I just need to specify the to and from values in the mailer like so:
def notify_admin (message_details)
#message_details = message_details
mail(to: "jesse#mydomain.com", subject: "Contact form filled out by: " + message_details[:name], from: message_details[:email])
end
This works when I want to send emails to myself as is the example above when someone submits the contact form.
It ALSO works when I want to send an email from my domain such as when they fill out the lead magnet. All I did was switch the to: and from: addresses.
Here's a working pony gem call.
Pony.mail({
:to => 'apotonick#gmail.com',
subject: "Pony ride",
body: "Awesome!",
from: "nick#trb.to", # this MUST be the sending Zoho email.
:via => :smtp,
:via_options => {
:address => 'smtp.zoho.com',
:port => '465',
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
ssl: true,
:user_name => 'nick#trb.to', # MUST be identical to :from.
:password => 'yourStrongPw',
:authentication => :login,
}
})
I had this issue, and I tried everything and still couldn't figure out what the issue was.
Let's face it, it's a SH!t message. What I did find though I was running my rails app locally with POW and its actually a POW error.
When I run rails server and do the same thing that caused the error, I actually got the real error message and was able to find I hadn't setup my controller correctly
I am running two Rails 3.1.0 apps on Heroku. One of these apps is just for staging purposes. I am using Devise for authentication and sendgrid to handle email.
When a user registers on the main app, the confirmation email seems to be sent fine. However, when the user clicks the confirmation link in the email, they are sent to the staging app instead. The link in the email is confirmation_url, which does not seem to be hard-coded to anything in my app.
Any ideas on why this might be occurring or suggestions on how to go about debugging?
You've most likely set this in your config/environments/production.rb
# Email settings
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "www.your-staging-server-url.com" }
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'heroku.com'
}
I just released a Rails app in Dreamhost and I'm using Google Apps for my domain to handle Emai. I created the admin#domain.com account to serve as the sender authentication.
I installed smtp-tls plugin and my smtp conf is:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "www.domain.com",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "admin#domain.com",
:password => 'secret'
}
The problem: Emails sometimes arrives, and sometimes don't. The recipient addresses are not exclusively Yahoo or GMail accounts, so I think it's not a spam issue. Any ideas? Thanks!
