    <p>I have a Rails app configured to use Amazon SES via SMTP. When I try and send email, though, it appears to timeout after a minute, and I get an EOFError. It smells like a configuration issue--the email seems to be constructed fine, and I can send myself test emails from the AWS SES console. This is in sandbox mode, and the app is running in development mode, but both the sending and receiving emails have been verified with SES, and development.rb is set up with this:</p> <pre><code>config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp </code></pre> <p>I've tried a million config variations; this is starting to drive me bananas. Any help or guidance would be very, very appreciated. More details:</p> <p>The smtp config, which I have in an initializer:</p> <pre><code>ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address =&gt; "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com", :port =&gt; "465", :authentication =&gt; :plain, :enable_starttls_auto =&gt; true, :user_name =&gt; "1234", :password =&gt; "abcde" } </code></pre> <p>The logs with the error, a bit truncated for brevity:</p> <pre><code>Sent mail to john@phu.com (59929ms) Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 03:08:37 -0800 From: contact@phu.com To: john@phu.com Message-ID: &lt;4ef06cb5ed3c_d73c3fc604c34d4491943@Johns-MacBook-Pro.local.mail&gt; Subject: Your invitation to Phu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; ....

    1. CODoes your ISP allow outbound connections on port 465? Can you use your amazon smtp credentials with a normal mail client?

    3. COHaven't gotten it working yet--ended up using Gmail via smpt, which was good enough for the time being. I'll try Mihir's solution below and report back (and accept the answer if it works). Frederick, I was able to use smtp outside of Rails--it's my own server instance, the ports are open.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
