Lead Thinking The Business of Software Development

Stupid question, but does the application need to be on App Engine? Or can I use the App Engine email facility with Remail on Heroku, for example.

What a spiffingly good solution! Nice. I’ll be using this on future projects for sure.

To save anyone a few clicks, here’s the info on google to do with quotas and costs:

Thanks

Can you send ‘on behalf of’ emails using this? As in, my app sending emails on behalf of you using your email. Something similar to any popular site (eg. LinkedIn) does.

After following these instructions , when I run UserMailer.deliver(..) , i get the error :

Errno::EAFNOSUPPORT: Address family not supported by protocol – socket(2)

Any idea what’s up?

You have missed “config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :remail” from the above instructions!

Any idea how much of a pain would this be to fork and configure to work with Rails 2.3’s?

Does this work for attachments as well?

This trick doesn’t work with gmail and gmail for apps. Even if we set reply-to, gmail just ignores it. But I don’t know how some applications manage to do that. For example if I send an invitation to a colleague from linkedin, that colleague receives the email as if I sent him. The ‘from’ address displays my email id.

Anybody had a luck to get it work with 2.3’s? I would like to use it but have not enough experience to fork it by myself. Or is there another good e-mail solution for Rails/Heroku?

I usually don’t post in Blogs but your blog forced me to, amazing work.. beautiful ?

The thing I hate with action mailer in a rails app is that when sending an email your application waits/delays until the mail is send before proceeding to the next action.

(There are solutions for this like ar_mailer. But it requires running a cron_job or daemon. Those cost server memory so…..)

So does Remail provide a solution for the delay?

And how about mass emailing. Will it work with Remail like ar_mailer does?

What if I just need to send email and I’m not using rails?

Thank you

For “delay” issue, I used to use delay job trick (rabbitmq). You can find the tutorial @ railscasts.com

How do you Clone the remail-engine git repository? I’m not clear in what application I should execute the command:
git clone git://github.com/maccman/remail-engine.git

I’m using a MAC. I tried Terminal, but that didn’t work.

In step 2, where am I Installing the remail gem (sudo gem install remail
)? Is this on my MAC or in Google App Engine or somewhere else?

Also what’s a GEM file and where is it located? Does the above program line install a program that uses this GEM file?

Obviously all this is new to me.

Thanks for your help Alex. I’m not really interested in learning Ruby, but I do have a particular need and I think remail is my best option. I put together an Arduino microcontroller to measure temperature and some other things, this data is pushed out to a website called Pachube. Pachube has HTTP Post triggers that you can set if certain conditions are met. I want to use pachube triggers to post to remail so I can get an email alert.

I got this error when trying to install gem:

scotts-mac-pro:~ Scott$ sudo gem install remail
Password:
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 301 fetching http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml

How do you test receiving emails locally?

What email address to i send it to? Do i have to mess with hosts.

Great work but so many thanks

I’ve installed this into one of my rails 3 sites, but I am now unable to send any mails. There is an error occurring in the python code in the remail-engine in outbound.py on line 22. Any ideas what is causing this? I can paste the whole log entry if you like.

08-29 08:39AM 05.516 ‘EmailMessage’ has no attribute ‘email’ Traceback

File “/base/data/home/apps/salesflip/1.344426892063585378/outbound.py”, line 22, in email
mail.EmailMessage(**safe_dict(email)).send()

Thanks, Matt

I just changed to the github version in my Gemfile and redeployed and now everything is working fine, thanks!

I am getting the same problem as Matt,

How is it fixed?

gem ‘remail’, :git => ‘git://github.com/maccman/remail-engine.git’

Does not seem to fix it for me.

This looks like a really awesome solution I had seen smtp2web do something like this but this looks way better. I love the way app engine makes it so easy to receive mail.

If anyone wants to try the beta of a product I’m developing called CloudMailin (http://cloudmailin.com) then please give me a shout.

Cheers for the help Alex,

I am trying to receive incoming mail with attachments. I seem to be getting a few errors on the app.

http://pastie.org/1153609

The attachment size is around 2mb so I cant see that being the problem?

Any idea? Again, thankyou.

hi…it is not working for me…when i tried to send a mail im getting Connection refused – connect(2). This is what i did. Please correct me If i ve done anything wrong.

1) I created a new GAE app, replaced the contents of the GAE app(app.yaml,index.yaml, main.py) with the contents of the remail engine git repo.

2)In the settings.yaml, I changed api_key to a random key, and set the outbound url to localhost(i just want to send mails and not receive them).

3)I changed the app.yaml’s application name to the name of my GAE app(without the .appspot.com).

4) I deployed it and checked the task queues in the GAE console, which showed inbound and outbound task queues.

5)Now I added remail gem to my gemfile and installed it.
6)Then I set the following:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :remail
config.action_mailer.remail_settings = {
:app_id => “app name without .appspot.com”,
:api_key => “random key from step 2″
}

Thats all I did. When I tried to send a mail now, It throws an error. Can you please help me to solve this problem.

There are regularly changes on the web. I can’t predict which should take place tomorrow. No crystal golf ball here.

Great app, replaced a service that I would have had to pay $9/month for. Thanks!

Good – I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related information ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Reasonably unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, website theme . a tones way for your client to communicate. Nice task.
