    copied!<p>I am using Devise :confirmable and :recoverable module to confirm a user and to let him recover his password if he forgets it. Everything is going fine, the mail gets generated and I can see it in the server log, but then I am facing errors and the mail is not delivered to the mailbox. The SMTP settings for my environment.rb file is :</p> <pre><code>require 'tlsmail' Net::SMTP.enable_tls(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE) ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :enable_starttls_auto =&gt; true, #this is the important shit! :address =&gt; 'smtp.gmail.com', #'localhost', :port =&gt; 587, :tls =&gt; true, :domain =&gt; 'mail.google.com', # mail.customdomain.com if you use google apps :authentication =&gt; :login, :user_name =&gt; 'jatinkumar.nitk@gmail.com', :password =&gt; '_secret_password' } </code></pre> <p>If the :address is 'smtp.gmail.com' , then i get the following error:</p> <pre><code>SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known): </code></pre> <p>If i set the :address to 'localhost', then i get the following error:</p> <pre><code>Errno::ECONNREFUSED Connection refused - connect(2) </code></pre> <p>I don't know what this :address means, a newbie for all this stuff. On running <strong>uname -a</strong>, i get</p> <pre><code>Linux jatin-ubuntu 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:22:14 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux </code></pre> <p>In my <strong>/etc/hosts</strong> file the entries are :</p> <pre><code>127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 jatin-ubuntu *#74.125.93.109 smtp.gmail.com #The above entry added by me* # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts </code></pre> <p>When I uncomment the 'smtp.gmail.com' address in the /etc/hosts file, the following error is gone :</p> <pre><code>SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known): </code></pre> <p>and now the error is :</p> <pre><code>Errno::ECONNREFUSED Connection refused - connect(2) </code></pre> <p>I don't know what is going wrong, googled for the errors and tried everything but nothing came to rescue. I do have the <strong>'tlsmail'</strong> gem installed and the <strong>'mail'</strong> gem as well, and my application is in development mode. Help me fix this error so that i can happily continue my rails journey and if possible guide me a little over this :address issue in the right direction so that i understand the basics of this. Thanks in advance</p>
