Answer 1

This is an active app I have had forever where the mail still works. Try changing the auth type to a symbol rather than a string. So :plain instead of 'plain'.

  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    :enable_starttls_auto => true,
    :address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
    :port => 587,
    :authentication => :plain,
    :domain => 'blarg.com',
    :user_name => 'info@blarge.com',
    :password => 'password'
  }

 config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'blarg.heroku.com' }
  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
  config.action_mailer.default :charset => "utf-8"
