Thanks for that Luke I gave it a go with my host's smtp settings - no luck! I still get the Timeout::Error: execution expired
But when I tried with my gmail account settings it does work I'm guessing the settings I've stated are wrong. Any ideas what they should be set to? My host specifes: Incoming Mail Server: mail.thinkersplayground.com Incoming Mail Server: (SSL) server.600host.net Outgoing Mail Server: mail.thinkersplayground.com (server requires authentication) port 25 Outgoing Mail Server: (SSL) server.600host.net (server requires authentication) port 465 Supported Incoming Mail Protocols: POP3, POP3S (SSL/TLS), IMAP, IMAPS (SSL/TLS) Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols: SMTP, SMTPS (SSL/TLS) Should I set the domain to localhost?
