I am trying to understand how to properly configure Action Mailer for Rails 3 to work with Gmail. Read the article by Ryan Bates and also read the edge Rails page article. Ryan's article said to put the config details in /config/initializers/setup_mail.rb initializer file

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :domain => "asciicasts.com", :user_name => "asciicasts", :password => "secret", :authentication => "plain", :enable_starttls_auto => true } 

But the edge Rails article said put it in the config/environments/$RAILS_ENV.rb, anyone know which is the preferred way of doing it?

Put it wherever it makes sense for your particular project. If you need different settings for different environments then do that, otherwise you can put it into an initializer.
