Hi, I have two different mail server servers. Both are SSL enabled. When I try to read mail from my mail box I got following error on 1 machine, Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in `initialize'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in `open'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in `do_start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:62:in `timeout'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:93:in `timeout'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:551:in `do_start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:525:in `start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ delivery_methods/smtp.rb:84:in `deliver!'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ deliverable.rb:11:in `perform_delivery!'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/mail.rb:122:in `deliver'' from (irb):6 And for other machine Net::POPAuthenticationError: -ERR only valid after entering TLS mode from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:983:in `check_response_auth'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:883:in `auth'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:990:in `critical'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:882:in `auth'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:555:in `do_start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:528:in `start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retriever_methods/pop3.rb:163:in `start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retriever_methods/pop3.rb:113:in `find'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retriever_methods/pop3.rb:87:in `last'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retrievable.rb:14:in `__send__'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retrievable.rb:14:in `method_missing'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/mail.rb:135:in `last'' from (irb):7 if for second server (error) if I specify enable_tls OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:541:in `connect'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:541:in `do_start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:528:in `start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retriever_methods/pop3.rb:163:in `start'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retriever_methods/pop3.rb:113:in `find'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retriever_methods/pop3.rb:87:in `last'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retrievable.rb:14:in `__send__'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/network/ retrievable.rb:14:in `method_missing'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mail-1.5.2/lib/mail/mail.rb:135:in `last'' from (irb):9 my code for reading email is, Mail.defaults do pop3 ''<My mail server>'' do user ''<Username>'' pass ''<Password>'' #enable_tls end end Is it I missed something over here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
