ActionMailer + Gmail = Timeout::Error

rubyonrails-talk

So in my local dev environment everything works fine. Rails 2.3.5, Ruby 1.8.6. and require the smtp_tls plugin to send mail.

In production I have Ruby 1.8.7 So the plugin is counter productive (will error). Without the plugin I receive the following error:

Timeout::Error (execution expired):   /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60:in `open'   /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in `do_start'   /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in `do_start'   /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:525:in `start'   app/models/users_application.rb:108:in `mail_app!'

Any suggestion on where to look for a Timeout cause. It's the exact same setting file as with the plugin which does work:

### config/initializers/smtp_gmail.rb

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {   :address => 'smtp.gmail.com',   :port => 587,   :authentication => :plain,   :enable_starttls_auto => true,   :user_name => "my_email@gmail.com",   :password => "secret" }

The controller is fine as I said it runs fine with the action_mailer_tls plugin in my development environment. But action_mailer_tls will cause errors on Ruby 1.8.7 which my development server has so I can not use it. But the controller doesn't change so that is not the problem.
