Issue is now resolved. This was done by removing the authentication, user_name, and password from the smtp settings.
The following site was of great help with telnet debugging: http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html I'm still unsure of how the mailer is able to send without having to be logged into a valid email account, but it does. This was the last piece of a small now fully functional project I decided to tackle. As a recent computer programmer graduate I now have something to "showoff" to potential employers. @Simon Thanks for trying bud. @Alpha Geez… I can’t begin to describe how frustrating action mailer has been. Your telnet guidance and debugging method was indispensable to my solution. Thank you! It’s great to see people taking time from their daily life to help fellow programmers. I’ll certainly do my best to contribute to this community.
