All I want is to send emails from my ruby scripts, over SMTP using SSL.
I only find examples of doing it from Rails, or for Gmail with TLS.
I found people talking about SMTPS support with ruby 1.8.5, but the libdoc doesn't mention it.
Anyone with an example of sending mail over SMTP with SSL, on port 465?
ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]
I solve this issue with this configuration below :
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => 'mail.domain.com', :port => '465', :domain => 'yourdomain.com', :user_name => 'email@yourdomain.com', :password => 'yourpassword', :authentication => :login, :ssl => true, :openssl_verify_mode => 'none' #Use this because ssl is activated but we have no certificate installed. So clients need to confirm to use the untrusted url. }
It works very well for me.
How about pony ?
gem install pony.

or I did not understand your question ?
I hope it help you.
Thanks

You probably already know about the Net::SMTP standard library
Regarding the SSL part, which doesn't seem to be supported out of the box, I found a couple of possible pointers:
The only interesting thing I've heard of in programmatic email recently is Lamson: http://lamsonproject.org/
It's Python, not Ruby, but you can call Python from Ruby if you want to (here's one way: http://www.goto.info.waseda.ac.jp/~fukusima/ruby/python-e.html)
You could use a third party open source command line program like mailsend (http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mailsend/mailsend.html) to do your dirty work for you. Just pipe some output to it in the format it expects.
If you have to use SSL instead of TLS you can monkey-patch Net::SMTP like this:
require "openssl" require "net/smtp" Net::SMTP.class_eval do def self.start( address, port = nil, helo = 'localhost.localdomain', user = nil, secret = nil, authtype = nil, use_tls = false, use_ssl = false, &block) # :yield: smtp new(address, port).start(helo, user, secret, authtype, use_tls, use_ssl, &block) end def start( helo = 'localhost.localdomain', user = nil, secret = nil, authtype = nil, use_tls = false, use_ssl = false ) # :yield: smtp start_method = use_tls ? :do_tls_start : use_ssl ? :do_ssl_start : :do_start if block_given? begin send start_method, helo, user, secret, authtype return yield(self) ensure do_finish end else send start_method, helo, user, secret, authtype return self end end private def do_tls_start(helodomain, user, secret, authtype) raise IOError, 'SMTP session already started' if @started if VERSION == '1.8.6' check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret elsif VERSION == '1.8.7' check_auth_args user, secret end sock = timeout(@open_timeout) { TCPSocket.open(@address, @port) } @socket = Net::InternetMessageIO.new(sock) @socket.read_timeout = 60 #@read_timeout @socket.debug_output = STDERR #@debug_output check_response(critical { recv_response() }) do_helo(helodomain) raise 'openssl library not installed' unless defined?(OpenSSL) starttls ssl = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(sock) ssl.sync_close = true ssl.connect @socket = Net::InternetMessageIO.new(ssl) @socket.read_timeout = 60 #@read_timeout @socket.debug_output = STDERR #@debug_output do_helo(helodomain) authenticate user, secret, authtype if user @started = true ensure unless @started # authentication failed, cancel connection. @socket.close if not @started and @socket and not @socket.closed? @socket = nil end end def do_ssl_start(helodomain, user, secret, authtype) raise IOError, 'SMTP session already started' if @started if VERSION == '1.8.6' check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret elsif VERSION == '1.8.7' check_auth_args user, secret end sock = timeout(@open_timeout) { TCPSocket.open(@address, @port) } raise 'openssl library not installed' unless defined?(OpenSSL) ssl = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(sock) ssl.sync_close = true ssl.connect @socket = Net::InternetMessageIO.new(ssl) @socket.read_timeout = 60 #@read_timeout @socket.debug_output = STDERR #@debug_output check_response(critical { recv_response() }) do_helo(helodomain) do_helo(helodomain) authenticate user, secret, authtype if user @started = true ensure unless @started # authentication failed, cancel connection. @socket.close if not @started and @socket and not @socket.closed? @socket = nil end end def do_helo(helodomain) begin if @esmtp ehlo helodomain else helo helodomain end rescue Net::ProtocolError if @esmtp @esmtp = false @error_occured = false retry end raise end end def starttls getok('STARTTLS') end def quit begin getok('QUIT') rescue EOFError, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError end end end
