I wrote my app in Rails 2.1 - emails seemed to work fine.  
My host are running Rails 2.2.2 though and now I get this error  
message when sending emails:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (hostname was not match with the server  
certificate):

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

🙂

These are my configuration settings in base.rb

```
@@smtp_settings = {
  :address => "localhost",
  :port => 25,
  :domain => 'thinkersplayground.com',
  :user_name => 'removed_email_address@domain.invalid',
  :password => 'mypassword',
  :authentication => :login
}
cattr_accessor :smtp_settings

```

Are these incorrect?
