I am using gmail SMTP server to send out email from my application. I am following the instructions from following link and everything is fine. I can send out email whenever a new comment is added.

When trying to build newsletter feature, I am following book’s instructions. but after these changes, I cannot send out email anymore when adding a new comment. Changes are listed below:
1. install ar_mailer plugin
2. create Email model and emails table:
3. change Notifier class:
#class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
class Notifier < ActionMailer::ARMailer
...
4. change gmail STMP settings and add ar_mailer in environment.rb file:
#ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :activerecord
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => “smtp.gmail.com”,
:port => 587,
:domain => “mycompany.com”,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => “mygmail@gmail.com”,
:password => “fdaspace”
}
require ‘action_mailer/ar_mailer’



After these changes, I restarted the server and tried to add new comments. Everything looks fine without any errors but I cannot send out email anymore.
I checked table emails. whenever adding a new comment, a new record will be added to this table. For example, following is one record data:


id: 9
from: ‘system@railscoders.net’
to: ‘baqig_wang@hotmail.com’
last_send_attempt: 0
mail: ‘From: RailsCoders
