Props to OpenRain’r Marc Chung for having the action_mailer_tls Rails plugin featured in Advanced Rails Recipes: Snack Recipe 47, Send E-mail via Gmail.
Note that the official plugin is now on github. We would have continued to maintain the URL that went to print, but no one told us we’d be in the book!

Ruby/Rails Training Now 40% Cheaper!
New on-site Ruby/Rails training rates are now available, here, and they’re better than ever! These rate reductions mean OpenRain training is..
- Cheaper than sending a team to RailsConf.
- In the comfort of your own office.
- Supplemented by addressing the specific needs of your company.
- Able to flow into a development agreement if you would benefit from additional assistance.
We realize many companies are transitioning to Ruby with experienced Java and .Net staff, and are thrilled to offer this service at lower rates. With the shocking Spring framework maintenance policy change, there’s never been a better time to go Ruby!
Journeta Support Mailing List Now Available
Please direct Journeta-related questions, issues etc. to the newly formed Google Group. Several OpenRain developers will be monitoring it.
