Many ISPs block outbound TCP connections to port 25 (the SMTP port).
They require you to connect to the mail server provided by the ISP,
which will then deliver the mail outside the ISP’s network.
Some ISPs have a procedure to lift the outbound port 25 filters for
specific
customers. You’ll have to check with your ISP.
You can thank the spammers for this situation. It is designed to
provide
a mechanism for auditing outgoing email such that spam sources can be
identified
and shutdown before they cause the ISP to be put on various
blacklists as a source
of spam. If your address block gets put on such a list it can have
a serious
operational impact (i.e. email to/from your customers stops flowing)
so ISP’s
have to be aggressive about identifying and eliminating sources of SPAM.

More generally, is there any way to check on the status of a mail sent
via SMTP?

Well, my ISP is rather happy with anything I do, I had a problem which
seemed like a server config failure. Turned out silly me was using a
semicolon instead of a comma to separate multiple recipients…
blacklists as a source
Anyways, that problem got resolved, but here’s another quirk. My test
method went like:
class Notify
def notifier_test(test_message)
recipients "[email protected], [email protected],
[email protected]"
from "[email protected]"
subject "Notifier Test"
body ["test_message" = test_message]
end
end
(That’s using the traits versions of the code).
And the template was:
Notifier Test
Test message: <%= @test_message %>
And when I tried to go Notify.deliver_notifier_test(“Testing.”) in a
Rails console, I got a very weird Exception / traceback, possibly while
compiling the ERB template:
ActionView::TemplateError:

I’ve not used ActionMailer, so I’m not sure what the syntax should be,
but my guess is the line:
body ["test_message" = test_message]
Is causing the error. Maybe that should be:
body ["test_message" => test_message]
???

No, that’s a typo I made in the e-mail - that wouldn’t compile right out
instead of getting as far as the ERB template. I suppose I should
subscribe to the Rails lists for this. (Oh noes, more spam in my
mailbox)
