Googling for that error message yields many hits that look as if they might be helpful.

TLDR: You: domain.com Them: smtp.domain.com Rails uses: domain.com Rails says: domain.com does not match SSL certificate, actually matches smtp.domain.com. Solution: Use smtp.domain.com or setup your own smtp server with your own SSL certificate.

It looks to me like you're using your domain name when your isp does not have a certificate for your domain on their mail server, what I am saying is that it's perfectly fine to use domain.com but your ISP probably has smtp.provider.com and you should opt to use smtp.provider.com instead of domain.com because it will cause mismatch domain errors unless you setup your own server and get your own SSL certificate (this is because most ISP's will not put your certificate on their mail servers it's just too much trouble.)
