Hi all

I’m trying to get my actionmailer to work. I’ve set the following params  
in my environment.rb:

config.action\_mailer.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> “mail.???.ch”,  
:port =\> 25,  
:domain =\> “???.ch”,  
:authentication =\> :login,  
:user\_name =\> “???”,  
:password =\> “???”  
}  
config.action\_mailer.default\_charset = “utf-8”

So far, everything seems to work, the log is:

Sent mail:  
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 23:53:16 +0200  
To: ???@???.ch  
Subject: =?utf-8?Q?Hippie=2dWG\_CD=2dShop\_Bestellungsbest=c3=a4tigung?=  
Mime-Version: 1.0  
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Liebe® bla,

Deine Bestellung ist bei uns angekommen:  
…

But I didn’t receive any email yet. What could be the problem? I tried  
it with wrong settings in environment.rb (so it shouldn’t be able to  
connect to the email server), but it still stated everything went  
successful.

How can I “debug” this stuff? Is there something I have to set on my  
email server?

Thanks for help  
Josh

Make sure you have  
config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = true  
in config/environments/development.rb.
