Cannot receive from specified address Unauthenticated senders not allowed

On trying to run a rake task via crontab, I’m getting the following error:

rake aborted!

550 Cannot receive from specified address <help@xyz.com>: Unauthenticated senders not allowed

My production.rb is:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

config.force_ssl = false

config.i18n.fallbacks = true

config.active_support.deprecation = :notify

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {:host =>‘xyz.com’}

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {

:address => ‘smtp.sendgrid.net’,

:port => ‘587’,

:authentication => :plain,

:user_name => ENV[‘SENDGRID_USERNAME’],

:password => ENV[‘SENDGRID_PASSWORD’],

:domain => ‘xyz.com

}

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

config.action_mailer.default :from => “xyz Help help@xyz.com

config.mailer_sender = “xyz Help help@xyz.com

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => “xyz.com” }

I’ve looked through similar posts, and I feel my production.rb is configured correctly. So, I’m not able to figure out what’s the problem.

Please could someone help. Thanks

EDIT: Could changes in Gemfile.lock casue this? My Gemfile.lock got changed, although I had reverted the changes later. It worked fine earlier.=

You should check that help@xyz.com is in fact authenticated — make sure ENV['SENDGRID_USER'] and ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'] are indeed correctly set in your production environment prior to starting up Rails.

Hi,

I am sure I have set the username and password correctly. Its working on staging environment.

Thanks
