So in my local dev environment everything works fine. Rails 2.3.5,
Ruby 1.8.6. and require the smtp_tls plugin to send mail.
In production I have Ruby 1.8.7 So the plugin is counter productive
(will error). Without the plugin I receive the following error:
Timeout::Error (execution expired):
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60:in open' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in do_start’
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in do_start' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:525:in start’
app/models/users_application.rb:108:in `mail_app!’
Any suggestion on where to look for a Timeout cause. It’s the exact
same setting file as with the plugin which does work:
config/initializers/smtp_gmail.rb
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => ‘smtp.gmail.com’,
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => “[email protected]”,
:password => “secret”
}
Cheers,
