Using your GMail as ActionMailer Carrier

this was merely a try, it worked, but i don't think it's recommended so much, google might get angry.

create a conf file named ssmtp.conf in /etc/ssmtp

  1. # Config file for sSMTP sendmail  
  2. #  
  3. # The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000  
  4. # Make this empty to disable rewriting.  
  5. root=postmaster  
  6.    
  7. # The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no   
  8. # MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com  
  9.    
  10. # GMAIL configuration  
  11. mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587  
  12. AuthUser=youremail@gmail.com  
  13. AuthPass=pass  
  14. UseSTARTTLS=YES  
  15.    
  16. # The full hostname  
  17. hostname=machinehostname  
  18.    
  19. # Are users allowed to set their own From: address?  
  20. # YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address  
  21. # NO - Use the system generated From: address  
  22. FromLineOverride=YES  


then just point ActionMailer to user sendmail as carrier in your environment:

  1. ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail  


and you are all set
