hi guys  
i am newbie in ror. i wanna test my simple ror application on windows  
xp. i use Webrick as my web server.  
i don’t know how to configure my action mailer for sending email to  
another addresses?

config.action\_mailer.delivery\_method = :smtp  
config.action\_mailer.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> ‘localhost’,  
:port =\> 25,  
:domain =\> ’ ',  
:user\_name =\> ‘’,  
:password =\> ‘’,  
:authentication =\> :plain  
}

i don’t know which parameter must be set and what’s the values, by the  
way i don’t know how to test received mail.

i was [asp.net](http://asp.net) developer and iis handled all the stuff for me.

Do you have an SMTP server running on your windows machine, or any  
machine on the network?
