OK!  My sample actually doesn't use the action_mailer - it was in the 
other solution that was proposed to you.

Same as above.

As I understand it:
1. You have an internal SMTP server that is being used to deliver email.
2. You are using SMTP and it works for internal email addresses.
3. You would like to send email to someone@yahoo.com but that does not work.


If I have understood your problems correctly, it could be a few 
problems.  Since email sending is working internally using SMTP, I think 
your Ruby script is fine.

The problem could be:
1. Your internal SMTP server is not set up properly.  For some reason, 
it is not relaying messages to outside parties.  In this case, email is 
not delivered to ANY party outside.  This is a configuration problem, 
not related to Ruby.  Check the documentation for the SMTP server that 
you are using.
2. If you are able to send out email to some parties externally, and 
specifically NOT to Yahoo or Rediffmail, it could be that the spam 
filters at Yahoo, rediff, etc. are blocking your email since it doesn't 
appear to be coming from a reputable domain.  I don't know much about 
this problem, so I can't help.

Perhaps, someone else can be of more use.

Cheers,
Mohit.
