I am on heroku so am not clear where and how to set it up so that devise can send out emails.
I actually have two directions to go:
I am using sendgrid, so am wondering how it works with that.
For my hand-rolled mailers, I use PostageApp, which I'd prefer because it allows me to see what's going on with my email. The way I use PostageApp is my Mailers are a class of PostageApp's mailer.
Thanks.
In Rails 3 I used the following settings in config/environments/production.rb
# Disable delivery errors, bad email addresses will be ignored
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => '##YOUR_PROJECTNAME##.heroku.com' }
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:port => 25,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => ENV['SENDGRID_DOMAIN'],
:authentication => :plain
}
Note: you'll need to substitute in your project name - but all those ENV variables are populated for you automatically by heroku.
I just wanted to let you guys know that with the help of one of our customers, we have been able to add integration instructions for Devise with Postage to our documentation. He has also told us that he is updating the code to work with the newer, modularized version of Devise, and he will give us the code as soon as it is ready.

I'm trying to add e-mail delivery with Gmail SMTP to my app. I've already done the "less secure apps" way before but I don't want to use this option in this project.
I've tried to look into Google's documentation or some gem to make it work, but to no avail. Everyone just sends some code (like below, which is usually the same I have) or tells me to try 'less secure app'.
My current action mailer configuration on production.rb is:
config.action_mailer.perform_caching = false
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => ENV['DOMAIN_NAME'] }
config.action_mailer.asset_host = ENV['DOMAIN_NAME']
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['PASSWORD'],
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Some people say I'd need ":domain => 'gmail.com'" but with the 'less secure app' option it works, so my guess is that the problem is not that simple. Also, people talk about changing 'authentication: :plain' to :login.
Also, I realize that in the official Rails documentation it says:
Note: As of July 15, 2014, Google increased its security measures and now blocks attempts from apps it deems less secure. You can change your gmail settings here to allow the attempts. If your Gmail account has 2-factor authentication enabled, then you will need to set an app password and use that instead of your regular password. Alternatively, you can use another ESP to send email by replacing 'smtp.gmail.com' above with the address of your provider.
(From http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#action-mailer-configuration-for-gmail)
But I'm not sure if this solution still requires enabling the 'less secure app' option, which is not what I need.
Has anyone solved this problem without resorting to 'less secure app'?
Thanks in advance!
Okay, so after some time I finally did it.
What I had to do is:
1) Make a 2-step verification on my gmail account, which you can enable here: https://myaccount.google.com/security
2) Create an app-specific password here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
It is a string with a format of 16 small case letters. They appear separated in groups of 4 but it's all in the same string. All you have to do is add this app password in the password field inside the block.
...
:user_name => 'my#gmail.com',
:password => 'abcdefghijklmnop',
...
All other settings worked without change.
config.read_encrypted_secrets = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host =>
"domain.com" }
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:user_name => "username",
:password => "password",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Try this config.
I've partially solved this problem: I could get links with confirmation and resetting password.
The problem is that those links pointing to the wrong app and I need to adjust name of app manually in order to get the right redirection. Heroku representative said that those wrong address related to code....
1.Where in the Michael Harti ruby on rails tutorial could I find and change the code?
I've used Cloud 9 and Bitbucket as repository. I've created the new app on Bitbucket clone my existing app from Bitbucket to Cloud and want to push it to Bitbucket in order to make some changes.
But Bitbucket doesn't allow me to do saying that there is the existing app. clone probably doesn't work in this case.
2.How to create exactly the same app as existing in Bitbucket but with different name on Cloud9 and push it to Bitbucket with different name?
thanks.
//config/environments/production.rb
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
host = 'tatyanaa.herokuapp.com'
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: host }
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'heroku.com',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
If you see that output in console, it means your email was actually sent.
By "sent" I mean that Rails in development mode, instead of really sending the email (so you don't have to setup anything), it outputs it to the console like you can see there.
This configuration can be changed in development.rb by setting
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :stmp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
You are then required to properly configure the smtp settings, check the Action Mailer configuration guide for additional details, should be something like:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :stmp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: "foo.bar.com",
user_name: "someone",
password: "apassword"
}
However, I highly suggest you to keep the default configuration and let it log in console instead of sending real emails.
Did you properly write the code in production.rb ?
Here is mine (I've followed the same tutorial as well and it worked):
(production.rb)
....
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
host = 'my_heroku_app_name.herokuapp.com'
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: host }
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'heroku.com',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
....
Also did you properly configure sendgrid as an addon on heroku?
(terminal window)
heroku addons:create sendgrid:starter
If you are stuck and REALLY don't know how to proceed, I recommend you to do the tutorial again from the start. It may seem inefficient to go through the same process again when (I assume) you haven't finished the entire tutorial itself.
Believe me, I've also had the same situation where I "thought" I've followed the every step of the tutorial correctly before the app stopped working for some reason and when I restarted it again from the beginning and followed the steps again, this time with a more relaxed mind, the code worked perfectly :) And I've gone through the same tutorial "4 times" before I could finally "get it". I think it would be good for you if you repeat the same process again as it helps solidify your knowledge AND solve the problem.
I'm using Rails 4 and Devise 3. I need to send confirmation e-mails for production. These are the SMTP configs for my config/environments/production.rb
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'smtp.gmail.com' }
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:tls => true,
:port => '587',
:user_name => 'my_email#gmail.com',
:password => 'my_password',
:authentication => 'plain',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Logs say that the e-mail's been sent. However, I don't see anything in the inbox. (yes, mailcatcher is off)
Another question, do the configs of the development file affect the production's environment's in any ways? They shouldn't, correct?
Another important question: Using the way above, how many e-mails can be handled? For an example, if I used a third party say, Mandrill, would be better because up for tens of thousands of e-mails can be handled. What about this way?
P.S I've already tried Mandrill and it worked just fine. I am requested not to use a third party though so I won't be able to use Mandrill.
Lastly, is there any other way of sending the confirmation e-mails from the Rails Devise that I'm unaware of yet? Or are there any other configurations that I need to do OUTSIDE OF RAILS to make this work since I won't be using a third party?
Please make sure you have enter correct host name .
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'your domain name' }
As Rails configuration standard if your application running on local machine it loads development env. file settings, if it is production then it load production env. file settings.
I prefer to use sendgrid or Mandrill by MailChimp, if you ave large application then it is better to use 3rd party addons, for small application you can use Gmail .
hope this will help you :)
I'm trying to get sendgrid running on my Rails 3 App with Devise, so devise can send out registration emails etc..
I added the following, config/setup_mail.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:port => '25',
:domain => "XXXXXXXXX.com",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "XXXXXXXXXXX#gmail.com",
:password => "XXXXXXXXXX"
}
Shouldn't that be enough for Rails + Devise to send out registration emails? Or do I need something else or a gem of some kind?
The logs show the email being generated but I don't see anything in the log about MAIL being sent successfully or erroring. And my sendgrid account still says 0/200 emails sent.
Is there a better way in Rails to see what's going on when it trys to send the email?
Thanks
You can erase the setup that you have.
heroku addons:create sendgrid:free
That is the only pieces of code you need to get email configured with heroku.
Make sure you have your host link setup which I think you did because it will cause it to crash but if you haven't:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'myapp.heroku.com' }
Actually this last lien is different on rails3 so watch out for that :)
The "config" line needs to be added to your "production.rb" file.
I'm searching for the same answer myself. In intializers/devise.rb I read:
# Configure the class responsible to send e-mails.
# config.mailer = "Devise::Mailer"
I wonder if Devise has to be told to use Actionmailer.
I am attempting to add email capabilities to my app (forgotten password, notifications, etc.) and I am using EngineYard for hosting. I have successfully configured email in my test environment but upon uploading to EY it seems to error out in Production. I don't pay for their support and the only resource is a bit vague (or beyond me).
I am curious to know if there is any specific file additions, server set up etc. that is needed when using email on EY. I am using Google apps so I thought it would be as easy as adding the same code block for test in production but doesn't seem to be the case.
Here's my config for Google apps, in .../config/environments/production.rb:
require 'tlsmail'
Net::SMTP.enable_tls(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
:port => 587,
:tls => true,
:domain => 'example.com',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "sender#example.com",
:password => 'tr1ckypwd!'
}
Note, for the security minded out there, I actually keep the password in a separate file and have code to patch it into the settings on launch, but I figured that would distract from the meat of the response.
Hope that helps.
