Teambox email setup – rails 3 – OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (hostname was not match with the server certificate)

add bypass_ssl_verification_for_open_uri.rb to config/initializers. Make sure the file has right owner/mod setup – I spent about couple of hours and later realize it was owner by root. You need to setup (under ubuntu – chown nobody:www-data bypass_ssl_verification_for_open_uri.rb).

Contents of bypass_ssl_verification_for_open_uri.rb
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
