如何配置我的服务器以从Ruby on Rails发送电子邮件

Question

I am using the server that comes with Rails and I need to configure it to send emails to recipients such as juan@gmail.com and pepe@hotmail.com.

Do I need to use my Gmail account or install a local SMTP service. I'm a newbie in ruby on rails

I am executing this using Mailers.

An example that I saw on internet is below.

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
  :user_name => 'your_sendgrid_username',
  :password => 'your_sendgrid_password',
  :domain => 'yourdomain.com',
  :address => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
  :port => 587,
  :authentication => :plain,
  :enable_starttls_auto => true
} 

Answer 1

To send mail from local put the code below in you config/application.rb

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
    config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
      :address              => "smtp.gmail.com",
      :port                 => 587,
      :domain               => 'gmail.com',
      :user_name            => 'your_email_id',
      :password             => 'password',
      :authentication       => 'plain',
      :enable_starttls_auto => true  }

Add the below line in application.rb file...

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost', :port => 3000 }
