Action Mailer in Ruby without Rails - Timeout Error

Question

I'm using Action Mailer to send a daily email, but without Rails. I've also looked at other questions here: Action Mailer 3 without Rails, ActionMailer and Ramaze

Here's my code:

require 'action_mailer'

class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def daily_names_email(names,subject="test daily mail",to = "test@domain.com")
  @names = "test names"
  mail(
      :to      => to,
      :from    => "me@domain.com",
      :subject => subject
    ) do |format|
    format.text
    format.html
    end
  end
end

Mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
Mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
Mailer.smtp_settings = {
 :address   => "smtp.gmail.com",
 :port      => 465,
 :domain    => "google",
 :authentication => :plain,
 :user_name      => "me@domain.com",
 :password       => "*****",
 :enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Mailer.view_paths = File.dirname(__FILE__)
Mailer.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

email = Mailer.daily_names_email('hello')

puts email
email.deliver

Here's the Error output:

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Unless its a typo, the "domain" parameter is wrong.

:domain => 'google' should be :domain => 'yourdomain.com'

Your code given below, with the correct domain works fine

require 'action_mailer'

class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def daily_names_email(names,subject="test daily mail",to = "recipient@domain.com")
  mail(
      :to      => to,
      :from    => "you@yourdomain.com",
      :subject => subject
    ) do |format|
    format.text
    format.html
    end
  end
end

Mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
Mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
Mailer.smtp_settings = {
 :address   => "smtp.gmail.com",
 :port      => 587,
 :domain    => "yourdomain.com",
 :authentication => :plain,
 :user_name      => "you@yourdomain.com",
 :password       => "*****",
 :enable_starttls_auto => true
}
Mailer.view_paths = File.dirname(__FILE__)
Mailer.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

email = Mailer.daily_names_email('hello').deliver

puts email
