Hi  
As of now I had been running my server in development mode. And for  
mail sending in confif/environments/development.rb I have configured the  
mailsending method,port etc and they are working properly .Now I would  
like to run server on production mode. My current settings in the  
development.rb is as follows

# Don’t care if the mailer can’t send

config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = true  
#set delivery method to :smtp, :sendmail or :test  
config.action\_mailer.delivery\_method = :smtp  
#Following options are needed if the dlivery method is :smtp  
config.action\_mailer.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[mail.domain.com](http://mail.domain.com)”,  
:port =\> 25,  
:domain =\> ‘domainname’,  
}  
So my question is when I run server on production environment can  
i copy the above to config/environments/production.rb Is that only  
needed to make the mail sending work on production mode Any other  
configuration do i need?Please help

Thanks in advance  
Sijo

It depends. If those details are correct and your mail server doesn’t  
require authentication then that will be enough.
