Email verification in grails

Question

I am new with grails and am developing a web application in grails.

In my registration page I am getting the user's email id and I need to send a mail with authentication link.

http://grails.org/plugin/mail

http://grails.org/plugin/email-confirmation

I have referred these pages and many other pages to do this task. But the problem is, my email is not sending.

I have used

Gmail SMTP server address : smtp.gmail.com
Gmail SMTP username : [email protected]
Gmail SMTP password : -my password-
Gmail SMTP port : 465
Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required : yes

Mail settings are:

grails { 
    mail { 
        host = "smtp.gmail.com" 
        port = 465 
        username = "[email protected]" 
        password = "mypassword" 
        props = [
            "mail.smtp.auth":"true", 
            "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465", 
            "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class": "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
            "mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"] 
    } 
} 
grails.mail.default.from="[email protected]"

but at least

sendMail {     
  to "[email protected]"     
  subject "Hello "     
  body 'How are you?' 
}

is not working.

The exception occured is

Error 500: Internal Server Error

Remarque

Paste your mail settings from config.groovy. Are you getting any errors ? What happens, do you see any thing on console ! – Dunsinane

grails { mail { host = "smtp.gmail.com" port = 465 username = "[email protected]" password = "mypassword" props = ["mail.smtp.auth":"true", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"] } } grails.mail.default.from="[email protected]" the view page is not changing. – Remarque

can you login into Gmail with those credentials? Gmail often refuses connections the first time from an unknown client. Look for email notifications for this in your inbox. also check support.google.com/mail/answer/14257?p=client_login&rd=1 – Ruyle

I have tried all these.... But still the same error. – Remarque

as the trace suggests ssl is used and so your config is most likely picked up. can you test connecting? e.g. telnet smtp.gmail.com 465? – Automatic

bash: telnet: command not found is the output – Remarque

Try this it's worked for me. Notice that: Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required : yes. But you don't put "mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true"

grails.mail.host="smtp.gmail.com"
grails.mail.port=587
grails.mail.username="yourUsernameHere"
grails.mail.password="yourPwdHere"
grails.mail.from="defaultMailFromHere"
grails.mail.props = ['mail.smtp.auth': "true",
        "mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true",
        "mail.from":"defaultMailFromHere"]
grails.mail.javaMailProperties = ['mail.smtp.auth': "true",
        "mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true",
        "mail.from":"defaultMailFromHere"]
