namecheap actionmailer setup not working

First post on SO I have set up a basic contact form using actionmailer which I had working perfectly with gmail. I then set up a private email with Namecheap and then implemented the relevant details. Unfortunately, no emails send and I get an authentication error.

535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed:

My setup is as follows 

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
  address: 'mail.privateemail.com.',
  port: 587,
  domain: 'domain_name',
  user_name: ENV['NAMECHEAP_EMAIL'],
  password: ENV['NAMECHEAP_PASSWORD'],
  authentication: :plain,
  enable_starttls_auto: true
}

Thank you in advance

Solution

  • For anyone who stumbles across this post. The code above is actually correct. I had a misspelling in the password I was serving to namecheap. Settings work like a charm.
