Rails 3 Action Mailer issue

Rails
1

Hi All,

I am trying to send an email on a user sign up. The email is working
without any issues. However there is a problem with the :from field
that I am specifying. My SMTP setting look like :

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => “smtp.gmail.com”,
:port => “587”,
:domain => “test.com”,
:user_name => “[email protected]”,
:password => “secret”,
:authentication => “plain”,
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}

and my mailer class looks like,

class TestMailer < ActionMailer::Base

def registration_confirmation(user)
@user = user
mail(:to => “#{@user.capitalized_name} <#{@user.email}>”, :subject
=> “Welcome”, :from => ‘[email protected]’)
end
end

When the email gets sent, in the console I see that the following :

Sent mail to [email protected] (2846ms)
Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2010 20:05:26 -0600
From: [email protected]
To: Test [email protected]
Message-ID: [email protected]
Subject: Welcome
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html;
charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Dear xxxxxxx,

Welcome

Everything looks good till here. However when I receive the email, I
see from email address shows as the “[email protected]” instead of
[email protected].

Any pointers as to why that might be happening or how I can fix this
will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vishy

hi vishy!
It seems that u want ur form email id as ’
[email protected]’ . For that u have give this email id
in
smtp settings… That is user_name has to be set as the following
email_id…
I think it will work… Please try it…

Hi,

I have the same SMTP settings. I’m just sending emails to myself to test
out. I do the see the sent mail in the console. But I don’t receive any
email.

The SMTP settings was working with Rails 2.3.8.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I’ve never used google to send mail, but maybe they force that on you.
Technically the message is from [email protected]. Maybe you can set
Reply-To: [email protected] instead? That might be
enough for your purposes…
