Hello,

I am trying to mail messages. I’m using virtually the same code I did  
locally, and I got it to work (using Gmail). But not that I test it  
from my hosting it won’t work. Everything is setup properly. I can  
even login with Telnet and send mail from the same username.

Rails won’t even give me an error. It acts as if it sends. But I get  
no mail. And it’s not in spam.

I’ve searched through everywhere and can’t find an answer =/  
Here’s my code:

config.action\_mailer.delivery\_method = :smtp  
config.action\_mailer.smtp\_settings = {  
:tls =\> true,  
:address =\> “mail.**.com",  
:port =\> 587,  
:domain =\> "**.com”,  
:authentication =\> :login,  
:user\_name =\> “hello@**.com",  
:password =\> "**”,  
}

In your ROOT/config/environements/development.rb or other approriate .rb  
file put this line :

config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = true

you should see errors in your log files post this is done, that should  
give  
you a better idea as to what’s going wrong. It could be as simple as  
wrong  
username / password or something a little more complex. Try it.
