ActionMailer::Base send via "secure connection"?

I'm using Google Mail SMTP server which requires sending via a secure connection.

REF: Check Gmail through other email platforms - Gmail Help

Looking at:

:authentication - :cram_md5... but that doesn't appear to be the right one.

I've got my Outlook Express sending and receiving...

--> Question is, can RoR send via a secure connection?

Thanks in advance, Pete

you don't need that. What you need is for the whole smtp session to be done over TLS/SSL

I think there's an extra gem, that adds this capability to the libraries that actionmailer uses. googling for actionmailer ssl should turn up some stuff.
