I am trying to create a contact form in Rails 4. I did some digging around here and was able to get most of the stuff to work. (followed @sethfri's work here Contact Form Mailer in Rails 4)
Right now I am able to fill out my form box and hit send. In my rails server it says the mail was outbound to my email address, but I don't receive anything in my gmail box, so I think my smtp settings aren't right. My smtp settings are:
...config/environments/development.rb
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "mydomain.net",
:user_name => "[email protected]",
:password => "myGmailPassword",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Also I added in .../config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "mydomain.net",
:user_name => "[email protected]",
:password => "gmailPassword",
:authentication => "plain",
:enable_starttls_auto => true
}
What am I missing/doing wrong? I've played around with a couple things (changed default_url to port 1025, changed :port => "587" to :port => 587) with no success.
Thanks for the help!
You have to set the domain correctly. Currently in the code posted its "mydomain.net". Change it to gmail.com if you want to sent it via gmail.
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
domain: 'gmail.com',
user_name: '[email protected]',
password: 'yourpassword',
authentication: :plain,
enable_starttls_auto: true
}
