Rails - Sep 2008 - Creating a Daemon (win32-service) and Accessing ActionMailer

I''m trying to create a win32-service (ruby script with Rails
environment) utilizing the Daemon class and it currently prematurely
exits when it encounters a method of mine that calls a delivery via
ActionMailer.

Here is the process:
 Windows Service (Ruby script Daemon class)
  |
  v
 MyModel.save (from within the Ruby script via requiring the Rails
environment)
  |
  v
 after_create :deliver_notification

This causes my Daemon to exit.  Has anyone tried anything similar? 
I''ve
tried breaking the MyModel.save off onto another thread with no luck.

I don''t know if the problem is the time required to deliver the message
or if it''s because ActionMailer uses its own Daemon.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Just an update, the exception I am capturing is a "Bad file
descriptor"
exception.  The actionmailer model and method work well outside the 
windows service.

Permissions problem maybe?  I have a vague association in my mind between that
error and server not being accessible...

What credentials does your service run under?  Is it an account w/network
permissions?

Thanks for replying! I seem to have full permissions from the command 
line and everything else works from the service except the mailer.  I 
don''t forward any credentials to the mailer concerning my actual login 
either.

From the command line in an interactive session?  That''s != the
environment you get when you''re running from a service...

If you haven''t already, just for a goof, temporarily have the service
run under your domain credentials & see if it makes a difference.

Sadly that didn''t make a difference.  I even tried to log out and back 
in again, which still caused the same exception to be logged.

Can a daemon such as ActionMailer''s delivery methods be called from 
within another daemon (win32-service)?

I have what seems to be a solution.  The problem was unrelated to 
ActionMailer.  In reality the problem was occurring because of a few 
constants that were declared in multiple places.  When MyModel 
re-declared these constants this error (Bad File Descriptor) would be 
being thrown.
