Gmail on heroku with Rails 3

Question

I am trying to send emails from Heroku up and running. At the moment I can send emails from Heroku via the \"tutorial\" at http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2009/11/9/tech_sen

Answer 1

Did you export those environment variables on your local machine? You say you're adding the GMAIL_SMTP... to heroko config, but are you:

$ export GMAIL_SMTP_USER=username@gmail.com $ export GMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD=yourpassword

I ran into your question because I also have email working in dev, and wondered if the 2009 post about how to get smtp & gmail to work on heroku is still necessary. Apparently so.
