Question

I have problem in my heroku app, I am trying to send email using my Godaddy email account, here is my settings in the environment/production.rb:

  config.active_support.deprecation = :notify

  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'coursebuilder2.heroku.com' }

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    :address  => "smtpout.secureserver.net",
    :port  => 25,
    :user_name  => "[e-mail]",
    :password  => "password",
    :authentication  => :login
  }

  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

but, here is what I get:

Rendered instructors/mailer/confirmation_instructions.html.erb (1.1ms)
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 666ms

SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known):

cache: [POST /instructors] invalidate, pass

So, what’s I am missing here ?

EDIT

I have fixed the settings above, but, now, I have a timeout error below:

Any one can advice ?

Answer 1

That looks like you’re using the wrong connection details to GoDaddy – to be honest, I’d be inclined to use the SendGrid free addon which is widely used and documented.
