Rails 3: SMTP Settings for Google Apps / Heroku

Question

Here are my smtp settings for Google Apps in setup_mail.rb.

  :address              => "smtp.gmail.com",  
  :port                 => 587,                 
  :domain               => 'mysite.co',  
  :user_name            => '[email protected]',      
  :password             => 'password',      
  :authentication       => 'plain',             
  :enable_starttls_auto => true

My development logs show in detail the e-mails being generated and sent to the right e-mail address... but they are not arriving. I can only think that there must be something wrong with the settings above. Can you see what the problem is?

Once this is solved, would I have any issue getting it to work on Heroku?

Answer 1

I think if you are using rails 3, the correct approach to setup mail would be to follow this railscasts tutorial on action mailer.

Answer 2

in your user controller don't forget to add the .deliver

UserMailer.registration_confirmation(@user).deliver

that is what stumped me
