I am trying to get my slicehost/Rails/radiant/nginx/mongrel site to work  
with the Radiant extension Mailer and [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)

I have the openrain-action\_mailer\_tls (1.1.3) gem installed.

I have google accounts eMail set up that I can log into so I believe the  
user/domain is valid.

I am not sure if I am having a radiant problem or a gMail problem.

Here is the production log…

```
Processing MailController#create (for 74.184.148.126 at 2009-03-28

“email”=\>“removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”}, “controller”=\>“mail”}  
Sent mail to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid, removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

On my dev machine in development mode, it shows the actual eMail  
content.

On the slicehost production machine ( as shown above ) it does not.

I required smtp\_tls in the config/environment.rb file

I have have this in the config/environment.rb file

```
ResponseCache.defaults[:directory] =

```

ActionController::Base.page\_cache\_directory  
ResponseCache.defaults[:logger] = ActionController::Base.logger  
ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = { :address =\> “smtp.gmail.com”,  
:port =\> “587”, :domain =\> “zzzzzz.com”, :user\_name =\>  
“removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”, :password =\> “xxxxxxx”, :authentication =\> :plain }  
end  
config.action\_mailer.delivery\_method = :smtp  
config.action\_mailer.perform\_deliveries = true  
config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = true  
config.action\_mailer.default\_charset = ‘utf-8’  
end

I am new to this, but have figured out a lot of stuff so far, but I am  
baffeled with this….

So any help would be appreciated…
