Actionmailer setup

[giorgio]

Hi,
I have got Refinery running on Heroku and just need to sort out
emailing.

With other apps I have used gmail for mailing by simply sticking
something like the following at the end of environment.rb:-
require 'smtp_tls'
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com" ,
:port=>587,
:authentication => :plain ,
:user_name => "myg...@gmail.com" ,
:password => "kjhkjhkjh" ,
}

This has worked faultlessly... However I cant get Refinery to send any
emails and cant see any info on setting up Actionmailer.

Can someone help me out?

Cheers
George

First:

if you are using rails 2.3.5 or older, take the " require 'smtp_tls' " out,
add  " :enable_starttls_auto => true, " to it,
the :user_name shouldn't have the @gmail.com, unless is a google app domain,
and take that extra ","  after the password.

Second:
Gmail barks back at you when you send emails from yourname@localhost.
Because how refinery generate the from field, you gonna get something like it on the development machine, so a workaround is to git clone the "vendor/plugins/inquiries/" and change the mailer to a fixed address...
This is the line you are looking for:

    from        "\"#{RefinerySetting[:site_name]}\" <no-reply@#{request.domain(RefinerySetting.find_or_set(:tld_length, 1))}>"

Let me know if you need further help! :)

Sorry, i meant rails 2.3.5 or newer. I actually think it will work on any rails 2.3.3 or older. I'm using 2.3.5.

[Rafael MVC]

2.3.3 or newer! ARRR Mornings are hard for me! :)

[giorgio]

Thanks for that Rafael,

I will check out that hard coding in the inquiries gem. I wonderered
if that was the case as it always tried to send from no-
re...@heroku.com.

Thanks for the info on 2.3.3 or newer. All the apps that I use email
with are using older Rails than that but the Refinery one is 2.3.5 so
looks like I need to change the "require 'smtp_tls' " as well.

Cheers
George

btw, :enable_starttls_auto in rails 2.3.5 require ruby 1.8.7, so I
think it wont work unless you use something else than the default
stack (heroku default to 1.8.6.x?)

Personally I use action_mailer_optional_tls from collectiveidea, work
great.

sendgrid is also a great option, I think it has the same limitation
has gmail (200 email out per day?), but its faster (at least for me)
and its nicely integrated with Heroku

+1 SendGrid

By default Refinery tries to send from no-r...@your-domain.com but we could support overriding that with a RefinerySetting ?

[giorgio]

Thanks for all the replies.

The story is that the ":enable_starttls_auto => true" setting only
works in ruby 1.8.7 and rails >= 2.2.1
On my dev machine I had 1.8.7 and 2.3.5

I put the following into /initializers/smtp_gmail.rb:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {

:enable_starttls_auto => true,

:address => "smtp.gmail.com" ,
:port=>587,
:authentication => :plain ,

:domain => "mydomain.com" ,
:user_name => "sup...@mydomain.com" ,
:password => "mypassword"
}

I also changed the "From" email address as suggested by rafael.
However you don't seem to be able to use something like "Bertie
<ber...@gmail.com>" because you get a syntax error when sending.
This appears to boil down to the system wrapping the From address with
<> brackets.
The work around is to simply have the email address with no name in
the "From". If anyone knows a way around this it would be good.

To get the mail working like this on Heroku I then had to "migrate"
the app to 1.8.7 as Heroku default is 1.8.6
<heroku stack:migrate bamboo-ree-1.8.7>

The refinery app worked after adding an extra gem to the Gemfile:
gem "aws-s3", ">= 0.5.1", :require => "aws-s3"

I hope that may help somebody else out with getting their mail going.

George

It sends from "no-reply@domain", so if your app is running as your-app.heroku.com, Refinery will send from no-r...@heroku.com.

If you run your app on Heroku using a custom domain, it will use that just fine.

A quick fix would be to change your tld_length in settings to 2, which will make the from address no-r...@your-app.heroku.com
