Activation emails are not being sent to users

Original issue 14 created by ariana-paris on 2008-04-11T19:51:39.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a new user
2. Wait g
3. No activation email will come.

Due to SMTP authentication our mail server on transformativeworks.org is not sending email when requested. This is currently being investigated by Systems in RT ticket # 67.

Once they have gotten us authentication info, we will need to update the config/development.rb and config/production.rb files to store this info, and to remove the current flash notice in users_controller/create which gives users the activation url.

This turns out to have been a bug on our end: mail initialization code had also been put into initializers/mail.rb, which specified using authentication method :login with a bogus username/password, which was causing Rails to attempt authentication (not necessary while on the same server) and fail.

Mail initialization code has been left in mail.rb, and the authentication info taken out. Activation emails should now correctly be sent.
