is it possible to configure mail.rb (in RESTFUL authentication) to test email activation locally? the default file is
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "mail.example-domain.com",
:port => 25,
:domain => "www.example-domain.com",
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => "user#example-domain.com",
:password => "secret"
}
thanks
This might help:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToSendEmailsWithActionMailer
Just make a yaml file with all the config
I really like using MailTrap -- a local SMTP server that knows Just Enough about SMTP to listen to ActionMailer requests... and write them to a file where you can look at them later.

I'm trying to switch over to SendGrid from Mandrill in my Rails 4.2 app through SendGrid's SMTP Relay. I have set the 'To Email' to be my personal email address so that I can view the emails that have been sent, however none of the emails actually appear in my inbox despite the rails console claiming to have processed and sent the email.
I am fairly certain all my mailers have the appropriate smtp settings as I have mostly followed the instructions provided on the SendGrid website: https://sendgrid.com/docs/Integrate/Frameworks/rubyonrails.html
I have also tested my connectivity to SendGrid's SMTP Relay through telnet and the connection is succesful.
My SendGrid dashboard indicated that 0 emails have been sent. None of my emails appear under the Suppressions tab either so it's not like they have bounced or have been blocked.
This is in my config/environment.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:user_name => 'apikey',
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_API_KEY'],
:domain => 'heroku.com',
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
This is in my config/environments/development.rb:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'smtp.sendgrid.net' }
This is the line in my controller that calls my ApplicationMailer:
ApplicationMailer.send_email(user, 'mypersonalemail#email.com', 'Test Subject').deliver
And this is what gets printed in the console when the mailer method is executed:
ApplicationMailer#send_email: processed outbound mail in 789.9ms
Sent mail to mypersonalemail#email.com (103.4ms)
But I still don't get any emails in my inbox or spam folder. Does anyone know how I can solve this? Thanks in advance.
Your domain and host options are wrong. Use localhost:3000 (unless you're using docker or something at which point replace localhost:3000 with 0.0.0.0:8000)
#/environments/development.rb
#Mailer Options
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => '587',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
:password => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
:domain => 'localhost:3000',
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'http://localhost:3000' }
config.action_mailer.asset_host = 'http://localhost:3000'
Make sure to add the sendgrid credentials to your local machine as environment vars. To get them, go to your heroku app and click on settings, then "reveal config vars". Then add those sendgrid credentials to your local machine as env. vars and you're done.
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 a rails 4 app. I set up ActionMailer and I can send order confirmation emails via localhost and gmail.
I installed Sendgrid on Heroku and followed the set up instructions. I get a Net::SMTPSyntaxError (501 Syntax error
my environment.rb (i have sendgrid user/pwd in application.yml)
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
}
in production.rb - the only actionamailer setting i have is this. I have this as a placeholder to put the real domain in later. I'm currently using herokuapp.com.
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost:3000' }
in my orders_controller within the order create method, I call the below.
AutoNotifier.orderconf_email(current_user, #order).deliver
auto_notifier.rb
class AutoNotifier < ActionMailer::Base
default from: "Test Email"
def orderconf_email(current_user, order)
#buyer = current_user
#order = order
mail(to: #buyer.email, subject: 'Thank you for your order.')
end
end
What am I missing? It works on localhost with gmail so I'm missing something in the sendgrid settings or in the default_url in production.rb file.
For posterity, here's a working setup for external SMTP in Rails on Heroku:
#config/environments/production.rb
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
:port => 587, # ports 587 and 2525 are also supported with STARTTLS
:enable_starttls_auto => true, # detects and uses STARTTLS
:user_name => ENV["SENDGRID_USERNAME"],
:password => ENV["SENDGRID_PASSWORD"], # SMTP password is any valid API key, when user_name is "apikey".
:authentication => 'login',
:domain => 'yourdomain.com', # your domain to identify your server when connecting
}
Change default from: "Test Email" to valid email address, even example#example.com.
I would just like to point out, this is for sending emails via SMTP. While this method is totally ok, you should also consider sending via the API.
To do this, you need to specify an interceptor. Luckily, there's a Gem that helps with that. Here's a good article showing how to use it.
https://rubyplus.com/articles/561-Sending-Emails-using-SendGrid-API-in-Rails-4-1
It took us a long time to resolve the issue when we tried to deploy the SMTP relay on heroku. It worked perfectly fine on local but when pushed we received socket errors and time out issues. Eventually got it working.
Important note: Make sure not to use starttls_auto and SSL/or TLS this causes open SSL issue.
For Rails 4, I am using config.action_mailer.asset_host = "http://localhost:3000" in
config > environments > development.rb
to load assets to my mailer.
Is there a better value than a hardcoded url? I imagine there should be one since I would not use this value in my production.rb. What is the code to find the current host url in rails config?
If you deploy to a known host, you can put it directly in production.rb
But if you really need to read it from the url, than you check this out
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Request.html#method-i-original_url
If you're using SendGrid, inside config/environment.rb file specify your ActionMailer settings to point to SendGrid’s servers.
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:user_name => 'your_sendgrid_username',
:password => 'your_sendgrid_password',
:domain => 'yourdomain.com',
:address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
I am trying to use rackspace ssl smtp for my mail settings for our rails application and I am receiving this error
hostname was not match with the server certificate
I need to find a way to disable verify on the certs for ActionMailer.
Anyone know how to do this?
Try setting enable_starttls_auto to false in your smtp_settings:
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.default_charset = "utf-8"
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => 'server.com',
:port => '25',
:domain => 'yourdomain.com',
:user_name => 'username',
:password => 'password',
:authentication => :login,
:enable_starttls_auto => false
}
For some reason I can't comment on Derek's answer, but his answer does in fact work now with Rackspace. Simply changing tls to false now works great.
Resolved issue by using sendmail and configuring sendmail to use the proper smtp settings required to use rackspace email hosting.
