This is the first time trying to get the mailer to work in 3.1.1 We are using gmail to handle our email at mycompany.com
What we have is a contact us page that should send the email to the 'info@mycompany.com' mailbox.
At first I tried this with the sendmail setting and it worked fine on my development machine (which is part of the mycompany.com domain).
I then deployed this to the rackspace box which is hosted on www.mycompany.com.
The emails seem to be sent ok (no messages turned up in /var/log/mail.{log,err,info,warn} to indicate otherwise) but never arrive.
So I tried a different configuration that I found of stack overflow:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :domain => 'mycompany.com', :user_name => 'peter@mycompany.com', :password => 'xxxxxxxxxx, :authentication => 'plain', :enable_starttls_auto => true }
Again there is no error to be found but the emails do not arrive.
Has anyone got a similar set up that they got to work?
