After hours of playing with the Mailer behaviour on my eApps virtual server I’m about to give up and find other way to do a contact form. The email does not get delivered. So in case anybody can see any flaws in my setup here it is… # environment.rb # Configure ActionMailer ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :smtp ActionMailer::Base.server\_settings = { :address =\> “[mail.integrallis.com](http://mail.integrallis.com)”, :port =\> 587, :domain =\> “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”, :user\_name =\> “xxxxxxxx”, :password =\> “xxxxxxxxxx”, :authentication =\> :login } I have tested this sending email from this smtp server using a mail client. In my contacts page I have: # admin part: mailers: contact: subject: Contact Request from: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid redirect\_to: /en/contact/thank-you recipients: - removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid # body part: # body part ## Contact us Your **name** : Your **email** : Your **comments** : - - Cancel # email part: Name: \ Email: \ Comments: \ # Here what I see on my production.log Processing SiteController#show\_page (for 69.218.201.157 at 2007-01-28 17:56:17) [POST] Parameters: {“mailer”=\>{“name”=\>“test”, “comments”=\>“test”, “subject”=\>“Contact Request!”, “email”=\>“removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”}, “action”=\>“show\_page”, “url”=\>[“en”, “contact”], “mailer\_name”=\>“contact”, “controller”=\>“site”} Completed in 0.04633 (21 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.00970 (20%) | 200 OK [[http://www.integrallis.com/en/contact](http://www.integrallis.com/en/contact)] I’ve search all my other logs but don’t see any errors. A couple of questions: - Is there an easy way to test ActionMailer? - I’m using a lightbox for the contact form and the redirect doesn’t seem to work. I always get the contact form after the post which is not what I want, I want the page that launched the contact form. - And of course getting an email delivered would be nice 😉 Any help will be appreciated.

Brian, Here’s my settings on Eapps- config.action\_mailer.server\_settings = { :address =\> “127.0.0.1”, :port =\> 25, :domain =\> “[example.com](http://example.com)”, :authentication =\> :login, :user\_name =\> “blah”, :password =\> “blah”, } config.action\_mailer.perform\_deliveries = true > # admin part: > > mailers: > contact: > subject: Contact Request > from: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > redirect\_to: /en/contact/thank-you > recipients: > - removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid This should be “config” part, right, not “admin”? and it’s YAML, so it’s white space sensitive- mailers: contact: subject Make sure, it’s exactly (whitespace wise) like: [http://mattmccray.com/svn/rails/plugins/radiant\_mailer\_behavior/README](http://mattmccray.com/svn/rails/plugins/radiant_mailer_behavior/README) Another good log to check is /var/log/maillog - this will tell you about un/sucessful mail send attempts. Hope this helps, Todd Quoting Brian Sam-Bodden [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

Todd, Thanks for the reply. I took a few days off from messing with this. One thing that I am noticing is that when I SSH into the virtual server and send a test email using telnet like (noticed that I didn’t use AUTH LOGIN): telnet 127.0.0.1 25 HELO [integrallis.com](http://integrallis.com) MAIL FROM: [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) RCPT TO: [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) DATA Subject: Test From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid A simple test . QUIT I see this in the /var/log/maillog Jan 31 23:07:37 integrallis sendmail[32499]: l1147Q0U032499: [integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net) [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to stdin Jan 31 23:10:05 integrallis sendmail[1407]: l1147vJL001407: from=[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), size=113, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), proto=SMTP, [relay=integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net](http://relay=integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net) [127.0.0.1] Jan 31 23:10:05 integrallis sendmail[1407]: l1147vJL001407: Milter add: header: Received-SPF: pass ([integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net](http://integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net): domain of removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid designates 127.0.0.1 as permitted sender) [receiver=integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net](http://receiver=integrallis.virtual.vps-host.net); client-ip=127.0.0.1; [helo=integrallis.com](http://helo=integrallis.com); envelope-from=removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid; x-software=spfmilter 0.97 [spfmilter](http://www.acme.com/software/spfmilter/) with libspf2-1.0.0; Jan 31 23:10:07 integrallis sendmail[5918]: l1147vJL001407: to=[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), delay=00:00:57, xdelay=00:00:02, mailer=esmtp, pri=120113, [relay=mxmail.register.com](http://relay=mxmail.register.com). [205.158.62.41], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as 980094A446E) but when I try to send an email with the mailer behaviour I get something like: Jan 31 23:12:51 integrallis sendmail[9959]: l114CpQj009959: from=root, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), relay=root@localhost Jan 31 23:12:55 integrallis sendmail[10032]: l114CtPM010032: from=root, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), relay=root@localhost Jan 31 23:14:35 integrallis sendmail[12212]: l114EZ8o012212: from=root, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), relay=root@localhost Jan 31 23:14:39 integrallis sendmail[12250]: l114Ednt012250: from=root, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid), relay=root@localhost I tried taking out the :authentication, :user\_name and :password from my ActionMailer config but that didn’t work either. Also noticed that before I still had action\_mailer in the frameworks to skip (doh!). So I changed that to: # Skip frameworks you’re not going to use config.frameworks -= [:action\_web\_service] and my ActionMailer configuration now looks like: # Configure ActionMailer ActionMailer::Base.raise\_delivery\_errors = true ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :smtp ActionMailer::Base.perform\_deliveries = true ActionMailer::Base.server\_settings = { :address =\> “127.0.0.1”, :port =\> 25, :domain =\> “[integrallis.com](http://integrallis.com)”, :user\_name =\> “sender”, :password =\> “\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*”, :authentication =\> :login } Yet the emails are still not being delivered. This is just bizarre to say the least. Next thing I’m gonna try is to change the delivery\_method form :smtp to whatever it is that let’s you go against sendmail directly. If you have any more ideas I’ll love to hear them.
