Automation of email sending process through corporate webmail

Question

I am in need of a script which automatically sends particular data from my corporate webmail email id .

Till now I am able to send automatic emails from a gmail id. But Iam unable to configure it for my webmail id.

Please let me know if any configuration changes are needed or I need to setup a server for this.(if possible also help me how to configure the server)

This is the Ruby function which I am using

def send_mail(to_recepient,data,mailSubject,extraBodyText,sender_info)

    options = { :address              => "smtp.gmail.com",
              :port                 => 587,
              :domain               => 'mail.gmail.com',
              :user_name            => sender_info[:senderName],
              :password             => sender_info[:senderPassword],
              :authentication       => 'plain',
              :enable_starttls_auto => true  }



  Mail.defaults do
    delivery_method :smtp, options
  end

  Mail.deliver do
         to "#{to_recepient}"
       from '[email protected]'
    subject mailSubject
      body stringData 

      fh=File.open('attachment_file',"w")

      fh.puts data
     add_file :filename => 'attachment_file', :content => data

  end

  File.unlink('attachment_file')
end

I faced similar problem. You can configure mailer for particular smtp server like this:

options = { :address              => "smtp.yourdomain.com", #address can differ
          :port                 => 25  }

Don't forget to add:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

Don't need to provide password and username, but remember to specify from field in your email message (as you already did).
