I''ve got a mailer that works -- about every other time. Authentication
fails the other half of the time. There doesn''t seem to be any
particular pattern to it -- work once, fail once, work three times, fail
twice, ....
For example, here''s one attempt from my development.log:
Sent mail:
Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2006 18:50:57 -0500
From: someone <someone@something.org>
To: SomeoneElse <someoneelse@whatever.com>
Subject: XXX Attendee Change
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
[...] and then, immediately afterward, the next:
Net::SMTPAuthenticationError (535 Error: authentication failed
):
/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:586:in `auth_login''
/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:571:in `authenticate''
Naturally, I''m checking these on the other end, and what I see in the
logs matches what I see in the mailbox.
Should I assume this is an issue with my service provider, or is there
something peculiar I might have done to cause is?

Who is your provider? I have a VPS with zettai.net and I recently started getting random mail failures as well. -TJ On 7/2/06, Al Evans <anejr@alevans.com> wrote:> I''ve got a mailer that works -- about every other time.

try setting in environment.rb, solved a few problems when I started using actionMailer :authentication => :plain -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hmm, as far as I can tell, the only difference between :plain and :login is that :plain sends the user name and password at one time, and :login supposedly responds to two prompts. The smpt server I am using says: 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN which seems like it would accept either. Oh, well, whatever works.... :-) --Al Evans -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
