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'
}

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

In the past, I've sent email from Heroku apps using the Gmail server, like this:
config.action_mailer.deconfig.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'derp'
:user_name => 'derp.bot',
:password => 'derp42069',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }
Since then I've enabled two-factor authentication for most of my domains. Before I do the same for my latest domain, will in wreck havoc with Rails code like you see above?
If the change does break your code, you could fix work around it by using an application-specific password.
I'm not sure if this belongs in server fault or here feel free to move it if it makes more sense somewhere else. I've seen the examples for setting up the smtp settings and using ActionMailer with Gmail and confirmed that they work for me.
Basically it looks like this for me:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:user_name => '<username>',
:password => '<password>',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true }
What I need to do now is to send an email to an address that isn't a plain Gmail account and yet, at it's core, is Gmail. My company uses whatever google's email service that allows you to use gmail but for the addresses to be listed as username#my.company.com rather than #gmail.com. I know for a fact that you can't simply log into our mail at the main gmail site so I assume our domain is different. Or something.
At the moment, when I simply use my own company user/pass I get an error message telling me that the user/pass was wrong. But I'm guessing the issue is that I'm trying to mail from the gmail variant of my username.
I have confirmed that our smtp server, as far as Thunderbird is concerned, is the normal gmail smtp, that our port is still 587, and that we are using TLS. What do I need to change here so that I can send an email to one of these addresses? Thanks.
I have my own domain setup at google for mail, the url to log into that directly is
http://mail.google.com/a/my.company.com
My rails app that sends mail through that account, has
:domain => "my.company.com"
as well as all the other fields you have.
"<user_name>" needs to be the whole email address, not just the user name.
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'busiess.com',
:user_name => 'username#company.com',
:password => 'password',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
i'm trying to send confirmation email to the user.
But i get following error:
Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (502 5.5.2 Error: command not recognized
Configuration in production.rb is following:
# Disable delivery errors, bad email addresses will be ignored
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
# set delivery method to :smtp, :sendmail or :test
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
# these options are only needed if you choose smtp delivery
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'path_to_address_specified_by_my_hoster',
:port => 25,
:domain => 'my_domain.com',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'signup#my_domain.com',
:password => 'password'
}
I have created a mailbox in user profile at my hosting provider, named "signup#my_domain.com"
For created mailbox, they issued to me login and password:
login = verbose_login
password = verbose_password
I did't completely understood the exact format of :user_name.
Should i use
:user_name => "signup#my_domain.com"
or:
:user_name => "signup"
or:
:user_name => "verbose_login"
Or this field is specific to the mail server, and i must ask support of hosting provider ?
And what the difference between :authentication => :plain and :login ?
Thanks.
This works well for me:
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:domain => 'gmail.com',
:user_name => 'my_nick#gmail.com',
:password => 'secret_password',
:authentication => 'login',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}

I have got the same error recently, and the reason was incorrect format of recipients
recipient = IO.readlines(emails_filename).first
mail(:to => recipient, :subject => subject)
Don't forget to add strip to get clean email addresses.
I had the same problem, but it is just a google configuration issue.
For some reason Google was blocking access from unknown location (app in production), so to solve this you can go to http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and click continue (this will grant access for 10 minutes for registering new apps).
On the other hand, you could login to your gmail account, then go to https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and enable the access to less secure applications, which was the solution for me!
Please try to login with browser once.
There might be some issue with login (it will ask captcha etc).
Once you successfully logged-in, then try with Rails Mailer.
It should work now.
This issue generally happens with test account as we do not login via browser usually.
Then mail providers ask for confirmation like captcha, dob or answer of security question etc.
You've to use ActionMaliler::Base instead of config
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings #try this
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings #instead of this
Change your smtp code to below. It should work now.
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'path_to_address_specified_by_my_hoster',
:port => 25,
:domain => 'my_domain.com',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'signup#my_domain.com',
:password => 'password'
}
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!
