I am able to get the registration confirmation email to send out in deployment on Heroku, but when I try a registration on localhost:3000, I get the following error:
undefined local variable or method `confirmed_at' for #<User:0xb67a1ff0>
In my config/environments/production.rb file I have:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'xxxx.com' }
And I have an initializer file with the following format:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:user_name => "xxxx#heroku.com",
:password => "xxxxxx",
:domain => "xxxx.com",
:address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:port => "xxx",
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
};
What settings do I need to get the localhost working?
Thanks!

Is your local environment migrated? Does your user model have :confirmable in the devise call? Does User.confirmed_at exist in your database (do you have any pending migrations)?
You should also probably add a stacktrace from your exception if you have one.
Sounds like you're missing a confirmed_at field for your user model.
You may correlate this with your schema.rb file.

I added the confirmable attribute to User by following this github wiki
https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Add-:confirmable-to-Users
After that I want sendgrid server to send email confirmation link for that I added an addon in my heroku and do these changes to configure my environment.
In my config/environment.rb file I added the following code
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'heroku.com',
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
In my development.rb file I added these two lines
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :text
config.action_mailer.default_url_options ={:host => 'http://localhost:3000'}
In my production.rb file I added these two lines
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_url_options ={:host => 'finance-tracker-6.herokuapp.com', :protocol => 'https'}
After doing all this.When I am signing up I am getting below error
RuntimeError in Devise::RegistrationsController#create
Invalid delivery method :text
There's no such delivery method as text. If you don't want to send SMTP emails in development, you can either use the file delivery method to get the emails saved in a file (it's also possible to preview emails), or use something like the letter_opener gem and set the delivery method to letter_opener. With this, emails get displayed in your default browser instead of actually getting sent.
I have integrated Sendgrid settings on a Rails 4 server. These settings work fine for development environment. But this is giving error on production environment.
Net::SMTPFatalError (550 Cannot receive from specified address <simmi#mydomain.com>: Unauthenticated senders not allowed)
config/initializers/email_setup.rb
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:domain => DOMAIN,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
config/initializers/devise.rb
config.mailer_sender = 'simmi#mydomain.com'
config/environments/production.rb
# Default URL
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'mysite.mydomain.com' }
DOMAIN = 'mysite.mydomain.com'
According to sendgrid support team, this error comes when username or password are incorrect. I tried logging manually into the smtp server through telnet and it was working.
On my server commandline, I followed these steps:
telnet smtp.sendgrid.net 587
EHLO
AUTH LOGIN
Enter username in Base64
Enter password in Base64
Link to convert text into Base64 - http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/base64encode/
The ENV variables were somehow not working on my production environment. As a workaround, I tried adding the username and password directly and it worked.
I have also faced the same problem and fixed it by adding the following:
config/environment.rb
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:domain => DOMAIN,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options = { host: 'mysite.mydomain.com' }
config/application.rb
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
The letter_opener gem is very useful if you want to test sending emails in development mode.
If you want to overwrite the letter_opener, add the following configuration
config/environments/development.rb
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method= :letter_opener
And also add the port under ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings.
You are probably loading your environment variables after you are trying to initialize your mailer. You can do the initialization directly after loading your variables to be sure that they exist.
Set up a config file with your username and password variables:
# config/mailer.yml
production:
SENDGRID_USERNAME: 'username'
SENDGRID_PASSWORD: 'password'
Set up an initializer file:
# config/initializers/mailer.rb
if Rails.env.production?
config_path = File.expand_path(Rails.root.to_s + '/config/mailer.yml')
if File.exists? config_path
ENV.update YAML.load_file(config_path)[Rails.env]
end
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV["SENDGRID_USERNAME"],
:password => ENV["SENDGRID_PASSWORD"],
:domain => "yourdomain",
}
end
If your production environment is Heroku:
Login to your Heroku account and select the application. Under "Settings", click the "Reveal Config Vars" button. Enter in your sendgrid key and value pairs, then submit. Run: heroku restart.
I have the standard setup in config/environments/production.rb
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: "myapp.heroku.com" }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:addresses => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'heroku.com',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
However, I encountered the following error while trying to send a mail:
ArgumentError: An SMTP From address is required to send a message. Set the message smtp_envelope_from, return_path, sender, or from address.
I then tried using the email I found on my heroku add-on page, i.e. app#######heroku.com, but now I got
Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)
So do I need to specify a from email or not? If yes, which one should I use?
Try this code in your production.rb file:
config.action_mailer.default_options = { from: "my_address#example.com" }
Yes you need to set a from address. All emails need an from address specified.
:from => "address_you_are_sending_from#your_domain.com"
This needs to be set in your _mailer.rb file. You can also set it gloablly in an initiallizer but it must always be referenced in your_mailer.rb files, and within each mail method itself.
You should change the :domain to a domain that you control. But if you were to use Heroku would your apps address not be yourapp.herokuapp.com instead of yourapp.heroku.com?
You can set a from address in your mailer file.
For example if you have an admin_mailer.rb for notifying your personal email of new activity on your site, it could look like this:
def new_customer_trial(customer_object)
#new_customer = customer_object
mail :to => "me#personal_email.com", :subject => "New Customer Trial", :from => "'My Site Notifications' <notifications#my_site.com>"
end
And you'd send that mail from a controller:
AdminMailer.new_customer_trial(customer_object)
or as a delayed job:
AdminMailer.delay.new_customer_trial(customer_object)
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'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'
}
