Action_mailer_tls + Gmail

Rails
1

Hi, i am really struggling with getting gmail working in my rails
app.

I have installed this plugin:

https://openrain.com/opensource/public/rails/plugins/action_mailer_tls/

I am implementing the ‘forgot password’ feature in
restful_authentication.

Anyway, in my development log it appears that the email is sent, as i
see the following:

Sent mail:
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:20:01 +1000
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Mydomain - You have requested to change your password
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

However , i subsequently get this “timeout” error:

Timeout::Error (execution expired):

Hallo Praveen Jayarajan:

What your email is delivered to your user or tested email?

Try this modify it to your environtment.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = false

or you can read it :

Have a nice trying.

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Just a blind guess.

Have you actually logged in with the account you’re sending the email
from? If you didn’t please log in and complete the account creation
process. If you did please login and ensure there’s no requirement to
change your password in next login configured.

I hadn’t!!
Well, I did it now and completed the account creation (I did’t have to
change the password). But I still have the same error.

Well that’s a hint. I’d wait a bit in case the account was flagged as
spam, o create a new one and complete the process before sending
emails. In my case I got a quota problem with 40 emails or so due to
that.

In my experience action_mailer_tls works out-of-the-box, so if it’s
properly configured and the Google account itself is OK it should work
just fine.

Done!!
The problem was with the port 587 being blocked by the firewall.
Thanks for your support!
