sending mail with ruby rails action mailer on opalstack

hms

My current settings are not working, but i have never tried to set this up before. Just using email for action creation, confirmation emails. Here are the settings I have now:

  config.action_mailer.perform_caching = false
  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
  host = 'id.mutantegg.com'
  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: host }
  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    :address        => 'smtp.us.opalstack.com',
    :port           => '465',
    :authentication => :login,
    :user_name      => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
    :password       => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
    :domain         => 'mutantegg.com',
    :enable_starttls_auto => true
  }

But I am getting this error:

Errno::ECONNREFUSED in UsersController#create
Connection refused - connect(2) for 127.0.0.1:25

I have tried plain text user name and pwd to skip the possibility of the env vars not being set, but the same error persists.

Thanks in advance

hms The problem doesn't seem to be the username and password. The problem seems to be that your app is connecting to 127.0.0.1:25 instead of smtp.us.opalstack.com:465.

Please check the rest of your app's environment to ensure that you're running with the correct environment and config (ie production vs development).

sean Thanks. That helped. I moved the above block into environment.rb (instead of production.rb) and it gets further now. I get a 500 error now after a long time, probably some kind of timeout? If I use port 465 and I enable ssl I can get past the 500 error and I get an authentication error, but I know the credentials I am using are valid.
535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure

hms Please try using TLS on port 587, eg:

  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    :address        => 'smtp.us.opalstack.com',
    :port           => '587',
    :tls            => true,
    :authentication => :login,
    :user_name      => ENV['SENDGRID_USERNAME'],
    :password       => ENV['SENDGRID_PASSWORD'],
    :domain         => 'mutantegg.com',
  }

If that doesn't work then please email Opalstack support with the app details so that we can look into it more closely.

sean Thanks, I will send support a message. With the above settings I get this response:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol
