I’ve just checked my config and the only difference I have is that  
I’ve got the domain and address the same… So maybe have a crack at  
that.

Oh, to clarify, in your case that would be to have :domain and  
:address as “[mail.irishwebdesigner.com](http://mail.irishwebdesigner.com)”

Hi !

2006/3/27, John D. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid):

Mine’s setup like this:

ActionMailer::Base.server\_settings = {  
:domain =\> “[www.careernudge.com](http://www.careernudge.com)”,  
:address =\> “[mail.careernudge.com](http://mail.careernudge.com)”,  
:port =\> 25,  
:authentication =\> :login,  
:user\_name =\> ‘m123456’, # mbox name only - no domain  
:password =\> ‘the-password’ # mbox password  
}

You’ll find your mbox name on the control panel.

Hope that helps !
