Using ActionMailer with tsl/ssl (for example with gmail) can be this easy

  #
  # step 1 - grab this tls patch for ruby’s net/smtp.rb lib
  #
    curl -s http://s3.amazonaws.com/drawohara.com.ruby/tls_smtp.rb > ./lib/tls_smtp.rb

  #
  # step 2 - put something like this into ./config/initializers/email.rb
  #

  require ’tls_smtp’

  ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    :address => ‘smtp.gmail.com’,
    :port => 25,
    :domain => ‘yourdomain.com’,
    :user_name => ‘zaphod@yourdomain.com’,
    :password => ‘beeblebrox’,
    :authentication => :plain,
  }
