ActionMailer responds with “501 5.5.4 Invalid argument”

问题

I'm working on an application with Rails 4 on Ruby 2.0.0. The application sends out an email after a registration in Devise.

This is the code that sends the email:

app/models/sponsor.rb:

after_create :send_email_to_admin

private

def send_email_to_admin
    AdminMailer.new_sponsor_email(self).deliver
end

app/mailers/admin_mailer.rb

class AdminMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default to: '**removed**'

  def new_sponsor_email(sponsor)
    @sponsor = sponsor
    p @sponsor
    mail(subject: "New Sponsor Registration")
  end
end

And this is the generated email from the log file:

Sent mail to **removed** (725.5ms)

when I try to test the code by creating a sponsor, I just get this error:

Net::SMTPSyntaxError in Devise::RegistrationsController#create
501 5.5.4 Invalid argument

My understanding is that this is typically because the email is and invalid email, but all of my emails are very simple, in the format of name@domain.tld and no-reply@domain.tld.

回答1:

The issue seemed to be that I was using "domain" in my smtp_settings. When I removed that, I was able to send emails from both Mailgun and Gmail
