Hi,  
I am trying to work out why actionmailer isn’t sending emails when i  
have deployed it to production. Unfortunately I do not have access to  
the production box and I can only see the production.log file.  
I have noticed that (on my local machine) when ActionMailer sends an  
email, the console window shows a load of output regarding what  
ActionMailer is doing e.g.  
 ← “EHLO [gr.ap.org](http://gr.ap.org)\r\n”  
 → “[250-mail.gr.ap.org](http://250-mail.gr.ap.org)\r\n”  
 → “250-PIPELINING\r\n”  
 → “250-SIZE 30000000\r\n”  
 → “250-ETRN\r\n”  
 → “250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN\r\n”  
 → “250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN\r\n”  
 → “250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES\r\n”  
 → “250-8BITMIME\r\n”  
 → “250 DSN\r\n”  
 ← “AUTH PLAIN AHRob21hc2hhcmUAQnVoZTNNVQ==\r\n”  
 → “235 2.0.0 Authentication successful\r\n”

However, this output does not appear in the development.log. I have the  
logging value (in the development.rb) set at :debug but this output only  
appears in the console window.  
If I can work out how to get this logging to get logged to the log file  
then I think I stand a chance of working out what is going wrong on the  
production box.

Any advice?
