hello everyone…

I’m trying to set my email up in production.

During test and development, I just used sendmail, which was stored in  
my development.rb folder at /config/environments

Everywhere online suggests that in production, the mailer stuff needs  
to be in /config/ and then into the environment.rb file

So - I have this so far,

ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)”,  
:port =\> 465,  
:domain =\> “[domainname.com](http://domainname.com)”,  
:authentication =\> :login,  
:user\_name =\> “my\_user\_name”,  
:password =\> “my\_pass\_word”,  
}

Unfortunately, this results in a server error (500)

Looking in the log file at production.log, I have this:  
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (hostname was not match with the server  
certificate):

As i’m new to this, and this is my 1st deployment - I’m not 100% sure  
what this means.

Any help appreciated

Thanks…
