ruby smtp and gmail

[ruby talk]

require 'net/smtp'
Net::SMTP.start('smtp.gmail.com', 25,'[email protected]' ,
'password' , :login ) do |smtp|
smtp.open_message_stream('[email protected]',
['[email protected]']) do |f|
f.puts 'From:[email protected]'
f.puts 'To:[email protected]'
f.puts 'Subject: test message'
f.puts
f.puts 'This is a test message.'
end
end

The error i get is
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:680:in `check_response': 530 5.7.0
Must issue a STARTTLS command first (Net::SMTPUnknownError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:593:in `auth_cram_md5'

from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:316:in `start'

any one find a fix for this or a work around? Am i doing it wrong?
will it work with other smtp servers? I only have gmail to work with.

Hi,

The error i get is
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:680:in `check_response': 530 5.7.0
Must issue a STARTTLS command first (Net::SMTPUnknownError)

That means that the server requires an encrypted connection via TLS, and the
SMTP module doesn't appear to support that (many less powerful clients don't).

Many other mail servers will accept your mails; only a select few actually
*require* TLS/SSL (mine is among them ).

You might want to try setting up an SSL tunnel that locally encrypts things
and sends them to the server's SMTPS port (465). This is probably easier to
do outside Ruby, though.

I'm betting it's Gmail's ssl requirement. More here...

I actually hacked up something a while ago that allows me to connect to
gmail.
Basically, I overrode the base socket to use SSL (or something like
that). Let me
know if you want me to dig up the code.

net/smtp supports SMTPS in CVS HEAD.
It might work with Ruby 1.8.
