text
Body
copied!<p>I have configured the Rails mailer under config/initializers/ like following:</p> <p><strong>/config/initializers/setup_email.rb</strong></p> <pre><code>config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :domain => 'gmail.com', :authentication => :plain, :user_name=><username>, :password=><password>, :enable_starttls_auto => true } </code></pre> <p>it works fine, I can send emails and get them received.</p> <p>But how to configure it to send email from localhost without authentication(without username and password), that's do not use gmail, but send email through the application's local server, how to configure then?</p> <p>--EDIT--- When using localhost, the error message I got is:</p> <pre><code>Connection refused - connect(2) /home/user1/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p330/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in `initialize'
