Hello
I've been dipping my toe in the RubyOnRails waters but have come unstuck trying to send an email using ActionMailer through my ISPs SMTP servers (Plusnet). I can see the email being rendered in the log file using the Actionmailer configuration setting below, however the email isn't received to any email accounts.
Setting the authentication to either "login" or "plain" with my standard Plusnet username & password caused a error message of "535 Incorrect authentication data". Sending email from an email client (outlook) only requires the address relay.plus.net, password and username is only needed to collect email from POP accounts.
Using other SMPT gateway (which I donÂt have permission or usernames\passwords for) throws up different errors, so ActionMailer is trying to send mail and talking to the SMTP servers.
If you have managed to get ActionMailer / ROR to send an email using a standard ISP SMTP how did you manage it? Where am I going wrong? Does RubyOnRails have any other tests I can carry out to make sure the email is leaving my PC.
IÂd be really grateful for any help
Thanks a lot.
