# ActionMailer Optional TLS

This plugin allows ActionMailer to work with SMTP servers that require  
TLS. It is heavily monkeypatched into ActionMailer and Net/SMTP, but  
such is life. Just set the following, and proceed as usual:

ActionMailer::Base.server\_settings[:tls] = true

I haven’t quite figured out the best way to test this plugin, but if  
you execute the following command from the plugin directory itself,  
you should receive a gmail from yourself, and a fair amount of debug  
information will be output. I hope it suffices; if not, suggest an  
improvement!

rake EMAIL=removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid PASSWORD=secret

Feedback welcome, enjoy!
