Sending Email from localhost and Dreamhost

Rails
1

Hi

I am currently developing on my local machine. I also have an account
with Dreamhost.

However, I trying to send an email from my localhost, using my dreamhost
smtp account. I followed
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToSendEmailsWithActionMailer
tutorial, but it’s not working.

Here are my files:

environment.rb:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => “mail.website.com”,
:port => 25,
:domain => “website.com”, # i have also tried mail.website.com
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => “username”,
:password => “password”
}
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true

WelcomeController.rb

def index
Notifier.deliver_signup_thanks
end

Can anyone help me out? Does it not work form localhost?

I had some trouble with this as well, but this came in handy:

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/ActionMailer

This is what mine looks like, but it is specific for sending emails
from a subdomain:

Include your application configuration below

ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => “mail.domain.com”,
:port => 25,
:domain => ‘subdomain.domain.com’,
:user_name => “m1234567”,
:password => “password”,
:authentication => :login
}
