email_detected's Issues

Doesnt work

Throws: Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect(2) for nil port 25):

Doesnt work on Production environment: Need help

Hi all,
I installed this gem and tested in my local development machine and it works great!
EmailDetected.exist?(<valid_email>)
{:status=>true, :message=>"The email address has already been registered."}
EmailDetected.exist?(<invalid_email>)
{:status=>false, :message=>"Requested action not taken:, mailbox unavailable"}

But the same changes when I deployed to my production machine, Ubuntu 15.10 (GNU/Linux 4.2.0-25-generic x86_64), it doesn't seem to work. In other words, for almost every email input which I give, it always results in :
{:status=>true, :message=>"The email address has already been registered."}

Here are the changes which I did:
I added the gem to my gemfile:
gem 'email_detected'
and ran bundle install

And then in the app/models/user.rb, I added the below line
validates_exist_email_of :email

Finally in the config/initializers, I created a new file called email_validator.rb and pasted the below lines of code:

EmailDetected.config do |config|
  config.verifier_email = "[email protected]"
end 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
