ar_mailer 1.4.0

ar_mailer is a two-phase delivery agent for ActionMailer. Even delivering email to the local machine may take too long when you have to send hundreds of messages. ar_mailer allows you to store messages into the database for later delivery by a separate process, ar_sendmail.

Changes:

  • 1.8.7 and 1.9 STARTTLS compatibility, now uses smtp_tls gem for STARTTLS on 1.8.6
  • Fix 1.9 warnings

Hi Eric,

I use this gem in my applications. It works fine but this process takes 100 % of CPU every time I launch it. How can I fix that (on a debian server)

Thanks for your help

If you run ar_sendmail in foreground mode `ar_sendmail -v` what does it output?

Does it work okay with—once?

If you edit ActionMailer::ARSendmail#run to not rescue SignalException can you get a backtrace when you hit ^C?

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.

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

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.

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
