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 : 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 => true, #this is the important shit! :address => 'smtp.gmail.com', #'localhost', :port => 587, :tls => true, :domain => 'mail.google.com', # mail.customdomain.com if you use google apps :authentication => :login, :user_name => 'jatinkumar.nitk@gmail.com', :password => '_secret_password' } If the :address is 'smtp.gmail.com' , then i get the following error: SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known): If i set the :address to 'localhost', then i get the following error: Errno::ECONNREFUSED Connection refused - connect(2) I don't know what this :address means, a newbie for all this stuff.
