Configuring Redmine to use Gmail

gistfile1.rb

#
# Setting up Action Mailer to consume Gmail
#
# I've got this on an e-mail from Tiago Cunha on rails-br group at googlegroups.com
#

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_content_type = "text/html"
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
  :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
  :port => 25, # only use 587 if you don't have a firewall blocking it
  :domain => "mail.google.com",
  :user_name => "your_mail_address@gmail.com",
  :password => 'your password'
}

#
# Oseias Ferreira on the same mailing suggested the following
# steps before looking for more documentation :)
#
# Don't forget to check if the firewall is allowing you to
# connect to the mail server address
#
# Inside your network try this:
#
#   telnet smtp.gmail.com 25
#   telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
#   telnet smtp.gamil.com 587
#
# You should see something like ...
#
#   220 mx.google.com ESMTP bla-bla.
