Timeout::Error while cinfiguring SMTP with Rails

i have used the “action_mailer_optional_tls” plugin to configure the
smtp with rails application. everything seems alright but its
rendering timeout error as…

Timeout::Error in EmailerController#sendmail
execution expired

where the application trace says so…

C:/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in open' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/action_mailer_optional_tls/lib/ smtp_tls.rb:35:in do_tls_start’

#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/emailer_controller.rb:12:in `sendmail’

and the enviornment setting says so…

ctionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:tls => true,
:address => “smtp.gmail.com”,
:port => “587”,
:domain => “localhost.localdomain.com”,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => “[email protected]”,
:password => “password”
}

plz anyone help me out of this quickly…

thanks in advance…

Hi,
I am getting the same error. Have you found a solution to your timeout
problem. I have gone thorugh forums they say to use sendmail instead
of smtp to solve the timeout problem. but i am using windows2003. So
how can i use sendmail…any other suggestion to solve this
problem.
Thank you.
