I’m having a problem with ActionMailer on Rails 2.0.2.
app/config/environment.yml
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => “my.server.address.com”,
:port => 25,
:domain => “my.server.domain.com”,
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => “[email protected]”,
:password => “my_password”
}

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I would guess that you have this code in the wrong place:
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => “my.server.address.com”,
:port => 25,
:domain => “my.server.domain.com”,
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => “[email protected]”,
:password => “my_password”
}
Try moving it out of the “Rails::Initializer.run do |config|” in the
environment.rb file. Put it at the bottom of the file, outside of that
block. You’re trying to refer to ActionMailer before the Initializer has
had a chance to load it for you. By moving the config code to the
bottom of the file, or (even better) into your development.rb &
production.rb files, you won’t call ActionMailer until after it’s been
loaded.
I appreciate your reply. I moved it out of the block, and it gave me
the same error. I also moved it to my environment/development.yml file
and it still did not work. I do see what you’re saying though, that
it’s trying to call it before it’s initialized. Is there any other
place I could put it that would ensure that it gets called after it
has initialized ActionMailer?
Thanks

Grrr…
The only other thing I can think of is that, in Rails 2+, there’s the
following line in the environment.rb file:
config.frameworks -= [ :active_record, :active_resource,
:action_mailer ]
It’s usually commented out. If you’ve got it activated, and it contains
:action_mailer, then Rails won’t load ActionMailer at startup. Other
than that, it might a weird InstantRails issue, and I don’t have enough
experience to help you there. 
Good luck!
I’m having the same issue, trying to setup mail first time. Do you
have any solution yet ?
Here is my stacktrace,
C:/projects/Sample/config/environments/development.rb:23:in
load_environment': undefined local variable or methodsmtp’ for
#Rails::Initializer:0x2b01740 (NameError)
from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.0.2/lib/
initializer.rb:206:in `load_environment’
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
In Rails 2.0 you should put configuration into their own specific files
in
the initializers/ directory. Create a action_mailer.rb file in
initializers/
and then specify your ActionMailer settings within. Rails 2.0 loads all
files found in the initializers/ directory when the framework
initializes.
By the way, if you are sending your mail from an smtp host other than
your
deploy machine, specify the settings as follows:
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => “my.server.address.com”, # => EXTERNAL SMTP HOST
:port => 25,
:domain => “my.server.domain.com”,
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => “[email protected]”,
:password => “my_password”
}
But if your deploy machine is doing the smtp work then make sure you
specify
localhost as the address, like so:
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => “localhost http://my.server.address.com/”, # => HERE
:port => 25,
:domain => “my.server.domain.com”,
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => “[email protected]”,
:password => “my_password”
}
Hopefully this may solve your ActionMailer woes…

I have put the ActionMailer settings code in the end of
config/environment.rb file. I am in Forget password option and want to
mail user’s credentials to his mail address but when i click the button,
it shows me the following error and mail is not sent:

Storing passwords as plaintext is bad. Reset the password to something
you know and send out, or, better yet, generate a one-time link to send
off to the user, together with another type of authentication that was
set, like providing the answer to a user-defined question.
Email is not safe enough to send passwords, and it is incredibly lax of
you/your team to store passwords unencrypted.

Hey passwords are stored in encrypted form using
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("–#{salt}–#{password}–")
but i want the way how i can decrypt it and also want your help in
sending a mail. i have posted the error which was there. please send me
reply of that too, thanks.

A hash is one way. There is no way to recreate a hash, especially not
one that is salted.

I made sure the line was commented out, as it was by default.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the info… after i paste the code outside of the block, it
worked for me.
