ActionMailer and Exchange
- by Jason Nerer
Hello Community,
I successfully send Mails via SMTP using my Rails App and my Postfix Server. Now I need to move to an Exchange: Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 that has POP3 and SMTP support enabled.
I use actionmailer 1.2.5 and am not able to successfully login to the server while trying to send a mail.
In case I use Mail.app sending and recieving works fine as long as I change the authentication schema to "Password". Checking the server looks like so:
READ Nov 18 10:37:00.509 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:mail.my-mail-server-domain.com -- port:25 -- socket:0x11895cf20 -- thread:0x11b036a10

WROTE Nov 18 10:37:00.852 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:mail.my-mail-server-domain.com -- port:25 -- socket:0x11895cf20 -- thread:0x11b036a10
AUTH LOGIN
READ Nov 18 10:37:01.848 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:mail.my-mail-server-domain.com -- port:25 -- socket:0x11895cf20 -- thread:0x11b036a10
235 2.7.0 Authentication successful.
So authentication method :login seems to be properly supported. Now when it comes to my configuration for actionmailer it looks like so:
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => "mail.my-mail-server-domain.com",
:port => 25,
:domain => "my-mail-server-domain.com",
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => "myusername",
:password => "mypassword"
}
And I get authentication errors over and over. I also tried to change
:user_name => "my-mail-server-domain.com\myusername"
:user_name => "my-mail-server-domain.com\\myusername"
:user_name => "myusername/my-mail-server-domain.com"
:user_name => "myusername@my-mail-server-domain.com"
but nothing works. Can anyone help me?
Regards.
Jason
