OpenRain.com uses Google Apps For Your Domain, and all email flows throw Google’s servers. Unfortunately, Rails 1.2.2 can’t send via smtp.google.com out of the box. As originally pointed out by Anatol Pomozov there is a solution. Here’s the simple version tested with Rails 1.2.2.
Updated 2008.01.04: The original link was b0rken, so I pastied the code instead.
Just a note: if you’re copying and pasting the code from this page, know that the single- and double-quotes are being pasted as non-parsable versions. You’ll need to re-type those quotes to avoid read errors.

action_mailer_tls seems to work with the same config I used with Rails 1.1.6
The links to the code seem to be broken. Is the code available anywhere else?
Thanks
The links seem to be working fine this morning. Maybe he just had some downtime yesterday.

The website was down for me too.
I searched google for the link:
http://blog.pomozov.info/posts/how-to-send-actionmailer-mails-to-gmailcom.html
and was able to get the code via the google cache.
[…] Enjoy! Thanks to Preston Lee for pointing this out. And, of course, Anatol’s smtp_tls library can also be used directly from any other Ruby application if you like! […]
I have copied-pasted the code from google cache to http://21croissants.blogspot.com/2007/08/configuring-rails-to-use-gmails-smtp.html
Guyz, I am trying to send multiple mails so i have to authenticate multiple times which consumes a hell lotta time, can anyone suggest a way.
@SandyTheFire
I’m not sure how to best deal with that within Rails, but you could use your own SMTP server instead. If your sending a ton of emails you may need to do that anyway to avoid getting slapped by Google.
It’s also available from our SVN repo

Gmail will limit you to send 500 emails per day.
You won’t be able to change the “from” parameter.
Perfect for personal use.

For the ‘load_missing_constant’ error, here is the fix…
Put
require ‘smtp_tls’
require ‘action_mailer’
into environment.rb.
Alright folks,
great tutorial – it came in very handy today.
I would just like to add, for anyone who cares, that the code you need to insert into environment.rb, needs to go AFTER everything else in the file. i.e. after the ‘end’ statement.
anyway, thanks a lot for this, I really needed it.
Cheers
