Question

I am working on a Rails application with Devise gem for authentication.
I cannot recieve emails sent during Devise process like forgot password, as it seems mailing is not configured properly.

i tried to add configuration in production.rb file

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'smtp.mydomain.com' }

What am i doing wrong? do i have to add any more configuration?

Answer 1

I got it working with the below configuration in production.rb file under environment

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "http://your_domain_name.com" }

     ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
                         :address        => "smtp.smtp_server_name.com",
                         :port           => 25,
                         :authentication => :plain
  }

Hope it helps someone.. 🙂
