I am getting a Net::SMTPAuthenticationError both on my development (local) env as well as when I host on Heroku, when I try to send mails from my rails application.
This started after sending the first couple of email (2 mails to be specific).
All research so far made me think that this should could be due to having a 2-factor auth enabled on the gmail account, but when I checked the account, 2-factor autt was not enabled.
below is my smtp setting both in config/development.rb and config/production.rb:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp # SMTP settings for gmail config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :user_name => Rails.configuration.gmail_address, :password => Rails.configuration.gmail_password, :authentication => "plain", :enable_starttls_auto => true } My mailer is set up as follow:
class StackoMailer < ActionMailer::Base def success_mail @my_email = Rails.configuration.gmail_address mail( from: '[email protected]', to: @my_email, subject: 'Fuck Yeah! Visited successfully...' ) end end On calling PushWatir::StackoMailer.success_mail.deliver_now!, I get the following error:
2.2.1 :001 > PushWatir::StackoMailer.success_mail.deliver_now!

How can I make this work? Big thanks for responses
