Fighting with email alerts in redMine

I recently switched the Intuitive Desktop development site from using MediaWiki to redMine. Now redMine is fantastic, and has almost everything I need to replace the typical smörgåsbord of applications people usually use. But, I still can’t get it to send email messages.

I’ve looked around on Google and the redMine forums, and I can’t even find anyone that is using this software on a community project. I’m not one to do this kind of thing, but “layzweb, help me! Fix the code below!”


# part of environment.rb
# SMTP server configuration
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "mail.intuitive-desktop.org",
:port => 25,
:domain => "intuitive-desktop.org",
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => "secret"
:password => "password",
}

config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

# Tell ActionMailer not to deliver emails to the real world.
# The :test delivery method accumulates sent emails in the
# ActionMailer::Base.deliveries array.
#config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
