Hi Everyone

I am learning RoR from a book and I am the part where I am using the  
Action Mailer. And I am about to configuer the e-mail so that I can  
recive and send from a form. But I am stuck on what to replace the  
following code with my own email config.

This is what the book says:

Add the following lines of code to the bottom of your environment.rb as  
well as  
replacing the placeholder values with your specific values:

ActionMailer::Base.server\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[smtp.railssolutions.com](http://smtp.railssolutions.com)”,  
:port =\> 25,  
:domain =\> “[railssolutions.com](http://railssolutions.com)”,  
:authentication =\> :login,  
:user\_name =\> “username”,  
:password =\> “password”,  
}

Do you must change :address, :port, :domain, :user\_name and :password?

replace “username” with “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”

replace “password” with your password for your yahoo account.

As long as your e-mail account is on the yahoo servers, this should do.
