awesome…

i am using the restful\_authentication plugin  
modified the mail.rb page to:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :smtp  
**ActionMailer::Base.raise\_delivery\_errors = true**  
ActionMailer::Base.default\_content\_type = “text/html”  
ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)”,  
:port =\> 587,  
**:enable\_starttls\_auto =\> true,**  
:user\_name =\> “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”,  
:password =\> “gmail\_password”  
}

now the email / login system is working

thanks curtis

If you also set raise\_delivery\_errors =\> true then actionmailer will  
actually blow up with a stack trace instead of just pretending  
everything worked.
