Gmail on heroku with Rails 3

Question

I am trying to send emails from Heroku up and running. At the moment I can send emails from Heroku via the \"tutorial\" at http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2009/11/9/tech_sen

Answer 1

I have mail being sent via Gmail on a heroku app. Here is my config if it helps. I am not using any third party plugins, just Rails 3.

In config/initializers/setup_mail.rb

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
  :address  => "smtp.gmail.com",
  :port  => 587,
  :user_name  => "foo@bar.com",
  :password  => "foobar",
  :authentication  => :plain,
  :enable_starttls_auto => true
}

In config/environments/production.rb

After the end statement for the config block, I have added

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings[:enable_starttls_auto] = false
