Hello ~ I have a working ActionMailer Action that takes the template to use as an argument so I have one action that handles multiple emails. The email sends just fine, and the correct email templates are used, but ActionMailer is throwing in its own text/plain section in addition to the one I specify. Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be occuring, when I am specificially specifying

Hi, does anybody know if TMail supports nested multipart messages? I read a changelog that indicates so (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/actionmailer/CHANGELOG), but I haven''t been able to get it working so far. Maybe I am doing something wrong here? I attached the sample mail. Here is the code to parse it: require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

i have a centos box (vps) with sendmail and i'am using it to send a newsletter to mail clients. I'am using a machine in my local network to send the e-mails via SMTP (AUTH PLAIN) but after sending some e-mail (35 .. 50) the connection starts to get closed by the server (centos/sendmail) I've searched google for a limit configuration on number of e-mails in sendmail but

Hi All, I''m currently looking into doing a bit of evented network programming in ruby and i''m currently looking into packet, eventmachine and rev.

I have not been able to do this with EventMachine.

Hi everyone, For those who have/had problems with Webrick not properly closing MySQL connections, there is a new MySQL gem. (Actually the version was released some time ago, just nobody took the time to make a gem) So run "gem update" or just "gem install mysql" to update (not sure if the latter also updates). Special thanks to Tobias Luetke, who forwarded the gem to Chad

Hi, i was hoping someone could reference me to some good documentation on emails in ruby and emails in general. i am in the end-process of building an app with a newsletter application in it, and was hoping to get some references on good places to start off with - - not just in rails/actionmailer, but email/smtp/sendmail/whatever/protocols when to use what, what''s best to use when,

Hi, I need to implement a mailing list system, Actionmailer is great, but i haven''t found out a way to send many (hundreds of) emails without having to reconnect to the SMTP server for each mail when calling Mymailer::deliver_my_mail(recipient) Any tips? (Possibly without calling directly Net::SMTP, so i can take advantage of the rhtml rendering of the body) Thanks, Best regards,

I just did a large upgrade to to Rails 2.3.4 and I am trying to make use of the more modern view features. I have a Newsletter object. Newsletter has many Sections. I also have: accepts_nested_attributes_for :sections on the Newsletter object. I have the typical scaffolded new.html.erb with: <% form_for(@newsletter) do |f| %> in there, I am trying to populate the first Section

Every wiki page contains a link to http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/Latest in the navibar at the top and bottom of the page. Currently that redirects to http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/1005 which is the Newsletter dated 10 July 2010, hardly current news. Perhaps someone can suggest a better communication vehicle to display when the Newsletter link is selected? And change whatever master wiki

Hey Everyone! I have a newsletter system that contains a multitude of different newsletters. In this case three but the system allows the user to add more. Every user can be subscribed to any amount of given newsletters. So what I did was I created a user model, newsletter model, and subscription model.

I am using Postfix as my mail handler. When I have ActionMailer deliver a large number of emails, it takes a while. It seems that in my Rails process, ActionMailer waits for Postfix to actually send each message before returning and moving on. Is there a way to configure either ActionMailer or Postfix to speed the sending of bulk mails, perhaps by having ActionMailer just submit the mail to a

Hey We have now published the sixth version of the Newsletter and I think it is time to ask YOU ( the reader ) what we can improve. The current trend is away from really technical details more to a light read and entertaining stuff. Is this a good way to go. Or should we focus more on the technical side again*. Or is the balance right? What do you want to read about? What sections do you want?

Hi, The first issue of the newsletter is being finalized to be released on Tuesday. For this we wanted to personalize the content a bit (and also credit contributions) by adding mugshots when we report about people and/or get contributed content. To facilitate this, we need a standard to refer to these mugshots and for this I'd like to propose the following convention for everyone who

Hello, I have just finished my Spanish translation of the last Newsletter. As I have no edit rights to the proper zone, I have written it into my own personal page http://wiki.centos.org/EduardoGrosclaude.
