Ruby on Rails, Sending Email with sendmail on Ubuntu VPS

04.05.2015

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: "yourdomain.com", port: 25}

$ sudo apt-get install sendmail

$ nano /etc/hosts

And make sure the line looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain yourhostnamehere

Run hostname if you don’t know your hostname.

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart that works but seems to be deprecated, better use:

$ /etc/init.d/networking stop
$ /etc/init.d/networking start

$ sendmailconfig
