Emails sent in development via Gmail but not in production from Heroku

[SS]

Hi Guys,
I'm experiencing problems sending automated emails via Gmail from
Heroku server (Production)? I can successfully send emails in
Development environment upon new user registration, however when I try
in Production there is no emails sent and makes me a little
frustrated.

I don't see a problem with my code in ../environment/production.rb:

----------------------Start Code---------------------------

APP_URL = "http://mysite.heroku.com"

config.cache_classes = true
config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = false
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'gmail.com',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => 'myemial...@gmail.com',
:password => 'password1'
}
-------------------------End Code---------------------

I don't understand why it doesn't work. Is the APP_URL the problem? In
Development APP_URL = "http://localhost:3000/" works fine. I tried
different variations and restarted my Heroku server after each time to
ensure that the configuration files are loaded with the updated
changes.

Please help...

Okay, I found out the solution.
I needed tls library. I still don't understand quite why it worked
only in dev without tls, I think Heroku is using out of date library.

So, you need to find tls_smtp.rb online and add it to your lib dir in
your rails project.

1. I added this snippet in my config/environments/production.rb

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:tls => true,

:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => 'gmail.com',

:user_name => "mye...@gmail.com",
:password => "*****",
:authentication => :plain
}

2. Imported in my environment.rb
require 'tls_smtp' (right under "require File.join(File.dirname
(__FILE__), 'boot')")

Hope this helps to any of you that have the same problems!

Cheers,
SS
