Hi, i am trying to send an email using RoR version 2.1.0 but i get some errors. I have this configuration:

1- In config/eviroment.rb, at the very end of my file:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {    :address => "smtp.domain.com",    :port => 25,    :domain => "domain.com",    :authentication => :login,    :user_name => "user@domain.com",    :password => "secret" }

ActionMailer::Base.default_content_type = "text/html" ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true

2- app/models/Emailer i have:

class Emailer < ActionMailer::Base     def contact_email(email_params, sent_at = Time.now)         @recipients = "someuser@gmail.com"         @from = email_params[:name] + " <" + email_params[:address] + ">"         @subject = email_params[:subject]         @sent_on = sent_at         @body["email_body"] = email_params[:body]         @body["email_name"] = email_params[:name]     end end

3- app/controllers/contact_controller i have:

class ContactController < ApplicationController   def index   end

  def send_mail       Emailer::deliver_contact_email(params[:email])   end

end

4- app/views/emailer/contact_email.rhtml i have: Name:

<%= @email_name %>

Message:

<%= @email_body %>

5- in app/view/contact/index.html.erb have: <% form_tag '/contact/send_mail' do %> <table>     <tr>         <td><label for="email_name">Name:</label></td>         <td><%= text_field "email", "name", :size => 30 %></td>     </tr>     <tr>         <td><label for="email_address">Email Address:</label></td>         <td><%= text_field "email", "address", :size => 30 %></td>     </tr>     <tr>         <td><label for="email_subject">Subject:</label></td>         <td><%= text_field "email", "subject", :size => 30 %></td>     </tr>     <tr>         <td><label for="email_body">Body:</label></td>         <td><%= text_area "email", "body", :rows => 8, :cols => 30 %></

    </tr> </table>

<%= submit_tag 'Send Email' %>

<% end -%>

5- Errors i got:

Net::SMTPSyntaxError (502 unimplemented (#5.5.1) ):     /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:948:in `check_auth_continue'     /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:740:in `auth_login'     /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:921:in `critical'     ....     ....     ....

I have read a lot in different forums about the same problema but no solution found. I also asked to my hosting solution about smtp configuration, and they said that i am using the correct information about our smtp. So I do not have any idea of what i am doing wrong, need help please. Any idea?

Cheers

Sounds like the mail server doesn't support the :login authentication method (Have you tried the other options ?(:plain, :cram_md5)). Perhaps the server requires no authentication in which case you should just remove the :authentication option.

You may try telnet'ing in to port 25 of your smtp server and issuing the EHLO (or HELO) command and verify that one of the auth types supported is LOGIN.

Are you certain your server requires authentication to send email?

Hi,

Thank you for your fast response. Ok i fixed the issue. The problema was that i was using smtp as a backend in the instruction:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

Our server uses sendmail, i just changed to this:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail

and it works perfectly. :-]

But i got now another little problem(i am a noob in RoR) the app send an error like:

ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template contact/ send_mail.html.erb in view path /home/lumenap/public_html/contact/app/ views): ... ... ...

The error is totally correct, because in my app/controllers/ contact_controller i have:

class ContactController < ApplicationController   def index   end   def send_mail       Emailer::deliver_contact_email(params[:email])   end end

As you see i am not rendering any iew, so if i want to render se same page that i am workin with(the index) what i shuold put? I puted an render :text => "somthing" just for testing but it does not work, gave me the same error. How can i render the index page?

Hi,

Ok i fixed that too. I just add in my controller action an redirection to an action, like so:

class ContactController < ApplicationController   def index   end   def send_mail       Emailer::deliver_contact_email(params[:email])       redirect_to :action => 'index'   end end

That works great, now everything works perfectly :).

Thank you very much for your support. Have a nice day
