I’ve encountered a problem that my rails app can send email via gmail properly in my computer but not working in heroku server (get an error: “Must issue a STARTTLS command first”).

Following by this post:

  1. download tls_smtp.rb. (found from this post)

  2. put it into your app lib directory

  3. import it in config/environment.rb

     require 'tls_smtp'

Then upload to heroku, it’s done!

I didn’t add additional config in config/environments/production.rb as this post said. But it still work.

This is my mailer config (I put it in config/initializers/mail.rb): ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :enable_starttls_auto => true, :address => ‘smtp.gmail.com’, :port => 587, :domain => ‘gmail.com’, :authentication => :plain, :user_name => ‘xxxxxx@gmail.com’, :password => ‘******’ }

Hope this helps
