In environment.rb below configuration details have used

ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :smtp  
ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com)”,  
:port =\> xx,  
:domain =\> ‘[mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com)’,  
:authentication =\> true,  
:user\_name =\> “username”,  
:password =\> “password”  
}

When trying to send mail ‘Mail successfully sent’ message comes but not  
able to receive mails.

When using the same configuration details (as below) in PHP mail sending  
id working fine and able to receive mails.

```
                    $mail->Host = "mydomain.com";
        $mail->Username = "username";
        $mail->Password = "password";
        $mail->SMTP_PORT=xx;

```

Can any one suggest.

Devi,

Do you have access to the mail logs??If so you can check them and see  
what exactly happening with your mails.

Thanks,
