Unable to implement the correct way to use Pony

[Sam D.]

Hi Ben,

I just found the express way to send emails using Pony in 1 line and thus, tried using it the following way: The test passed with no error but didn't receive any eI'm using mail

describe 'Test Example'

  it 'sends email' do

       Pony.mail(:from => 'thisisbeautiful..@gmail.com', :to =>  'thisisbeautiful..@gmail.com', :via => :sendmail, :subject => 'hi', :body => 'hello world')

  end

end

And, the test fails on using :via => smtp, giving any error : "Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)"

I'm using Rubymine IDE with RSpec (2.0.5) framework on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. 

My Ruby version is 2.0.0

Can you please suggest if I'm missing some steps to use Pony?

Thanks

Sam

Sam,

You probably have to use gmail's smtp servers, not your local machine.  Something like this:

Pony.mail({
  :to => 'y...@example.com',
  :via => :smtp,
  :via_options => {
    :address              => 'smtp.gmail.com',
    :port                 => '587',
    :enable_starttls_auto => true,
    :user_name            => 'user',
    :password             => 'password',
    :authentication       => :plain, # :plain, :login, :cram_md5, no auth by default
    :domain               => "localhost.localdomain" # the HELO domain provided by the client to the server
  }
})

ok, thanks Ben.

Please also confirm  - what should be the value for fields user_name/password and domain?

Sam,

The username/password will be your gmail username and password.  The domain will be the name the pony sending server would be identified as.
