[WebPub] Mailers in RoR for MIT server

[Lindy Liggett]

Hi,

 

I have a question about Mailers and RoR, and the DCAD people suggested
contacting you about this. I'm making a webapp for my Masters Thesis, using
Ruby on Rails. I was hosting it on the scripts server but kept getting a lot
of errors so I moved it to heroku (rmltool.herokuapp.com,). And I've figured
out most things. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to hook up
MIT email to the Ruby mailers.

 

So I have successfully done it using gmail using these settings in my
config/environments/development.rb file (to make sure I could do it right,
at least on one server)

 

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {

:address                                              => "smtp.gmail.com",

:port                                     => 465,

:domain                              => 'localhost:3000',

  :user_name                     => 'lindy.liggett',

  :password                         => [my password],

:authentication                => 'password',

  :enable_starttls_auto => true

}

 

Then when that worked I changed to what I thought should be the MIT settings
(settings on the website, and what I use on my phone to get MIT email on
that):

 

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {

:address                               =>"outgoing.mit.edu",

:port                                      => 465,

:domain                              => 'localhost:3000',

:user_name                        => 'lindy_l',

:password                           => [my password],

:authentication                 => 'password',

:enable_starttls_auto    => true 

}

 

But no emails are sent. The server log says an email was sent, but it says
that even when I put in values for username and password that I know are
incorrect. Any idea what other settings I should try? I have tried the other
port. 

 

Thank you,

Lindy
