As of ar_mailer 1.4 it should work on ruby 1.9 out of the box.

Thanks, Eric!

I’ve been using ar_mailer in production with a few apps for about a year now – it’s been a huge help, and incredibly reliable. Works great with Ruby 1.9 as well (I may have patched something – it’s been awhile).

C isn’t bad, just more verbose, exacting, harder to maintain, more difficult to make work cross platform, needs manual memory management, making sure the system has the right libraries to link against, making sure the system has the correct header files, dealing with cross compilation and distribution for other platforms (like windows) ....

Other than that, C is great!

rb_thread_select is usually a good choice for blocking IO operations… And C isn’t bad it’s just a lot more verbose and exacting then Ruby…

Thanks for the update, Eric.

One issue in the instructions above:

I think it should be: gem update—system

instead of “gem install—system”

I am connecting to gmail with the following in environment.rb:

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
    :port => "587",
    :domain => DOMAIN,
    :authentication => :plain,
    :enable_starttls_auto => true,
    :user_name => USERNAME,
    :password => PASSWORD 
}

Again, this works on ruby 1.8.7 but not for 1.8.6. Thanks for the help

smtp_tls 1.0.3 now has a script you can use to help debug your problem. If you can’t figure it out, output from the script will help.

How are you connecting to your SMTP server, can you give the connection options?

I’m having trouble making this work in both the production and development environments. I’m trying to send emails with gmail, and currently it works in production, which is on a machine running ruby 1.8.7. However, in development, which runs ruby 1.8.6, I get the following error:

> ar_sendmail -ov

expired 0 emails from the queue found 1 emails to send authentication error, retrying: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. 5sm12476417qwh.31

Both machines are running rails 2.3.2. Can anyone help? It sounds like ar_mailer 1.4.0 is supposed to address this exact issue, but I can’t figure out how. Thanks.
