What are your username and password? You’ll also want to change the address and domain to fit your needs. If you don’t know, ask your IT department, or your ISP, or your webhost. ---

Hi Manish, Is email sending log is getting created inside log file ? Is [tutorialspoint.com](http://tutorialspoint.com) [http://smtp.tutorialspoint.com](http://smtp.tutorialspoint.com) is your domain ? If yes, then where smtp setup has been done ? Why don’t you send emails using gmail account ? Thanks, On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 8:56 PM, Manish B.

Sir, I would surely like to know what i have to make changes in the environment.rb file… My email information is available in the development.log file… Sir my environment.rb file has foll contents: ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :smtp ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = { :address =\> “[smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)” , :port =\> 25, :domain =\> “[gmail.com](http://gmail.com)” , :authentication =\> :login, :enable\_starttls\_auto =\> true, :user\_name =\> “mukesh” , :password =\> “123456” } Here user name is user name created by the user and not email id… so what schanges chould i make to this file? ---

Just remove domain from smtp settings and it should work fine Instead we are passing it through username. ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :smtp ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = { :address =\> “[smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)”, :port =\> 587, :authentication =\> :plain, :enable\_starttls\_auto =\> true, :user\_name =\> “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”, :password =\> “123456” } Let me know if still problem!
