ail does not get sent.

Hi, I was just wondering how i would write a ruby script to send an
email using the gmail smtp. Here is what I have so far:

require 'rubygems'
require 'action_mailer'

class SimpleMailer < ActionMailer::Base
=09def simple_message(recipient)
=09=09from 'my_email@gmail.com'
=09=09recipients recipient
=09=09subject 'yay I just sent this'
=09=09body 'hope this works'
=09end
end

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings =3D { :address =3D>
'smtp.gmail.com', :port =3D> '25', :user_name =3D>
'my_email@gmail.com', :password =3D> 'my_password',
:authentication =3D>
'login' }

SimpleMailer.deliver_simple_message('other_email@gmail.com')


Unfortunately, when run I get these error messages:

ruby mail.rb

GMail uses a different port so they can secure the channel. Not 25. Look up
the protocol, and ask a Rails forum how to set the encryption correctly.

You might have some small hope of installing a lite POP3 server on your own
workstation. Then you can test ActionRecord by sending it mail.

I tried that once, and I could not find a POP3 server that was _lite_, like
a student's sketch of one. They were all real servers, top-heavy and
configuration-hostile.

Then turn on TLS security, to emulate how GMail does it...
