smtp check response 500

[Derek Smith]

Anyone know what resp 500 means in smtp?

thank you!

CODE:

{snip}

def send_mail(from, to, subject, mesg)

mesgstr = <<ENDMESG
From: #{from}
To: #{to}
Subject: #{subject}

#{mesg}
ENDMESG

require 'net/smtp'
Net::SMTP.start("localhost") do |smtp|
smtp.send_message mesgstr, from, to, subject, mesg
end
end


{snip}

send_mail("localhost","(e-mail address removed)","mongrel","mongrel")

ERROR:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:679:in `check_response': 550 5.1.1
<mongrel>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient
table (Net::SMTPFatalError)

550, not 500

550 generally means a server-end error.
You may refer the RFC 2821 items.

I hate to be rude, but why are you asking this (and on a Ruby mailing
list none-the-less)? This isn't a ruby question, and "Recipient
address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table" is a pretty
cut and dry answer. Make sure the mail server on your machine is
properly setup for relaying, and if until to sort that out after
checking that documentation/researching, ask the community for your
mail server.

pharrington was dead on when he called you on that.
