I set another class in initializer and when ar_sendmail is run I got Unhandled exception undefined method `email_class=' for ActionMailer::Base:Class(NoMethodError):

No idea why this happens and I can't find anything online except a reference to it in a closed lighthouse account.

Hi,

ar_sendmail suddenly stopped working on my development machine, reporting:

My configuration:

Ruby 1.8.7-p174

local gems:
adzap-ar_mailer (2.1.8, 2.1.7, 2.1.6, 2.1.5)

environment.rb:
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.2.2' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :activerecord
config.gem "adzap-ar_mailer"#, :lib => 'action_mailer/ar_mailer', :source => 'http://gems.github.com'
(I've tried config.gem ... :version => ... for all of the four versions of adzap-ar_mailer I have, it didn't help)

production.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.template_root = "/home/carebees/apps/carebees/current/app/views"
require 'action_mailer/ar_mailer'

Thanks,
martin

When I start in passenger, I get the error:

Expected /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090610/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/adzap-ar_mailer-2.1.5/lib/action_mailer/ar_mailer.rb to define ActionMailer::ARMailer

It looks like that file defines ActionMailer::Base instead of ARMailer as the original ar_mailer plugin.

If I change that to define class ActionMailer::ARMailer < ActionMailer::Base, I get past that error but then get an email_class error when running ar_sendmail. It looks like that is hardcoded to ActionMailerBase but if I change that to ActionMailer::ARMailer then everything works.

Is this a problem with this version or is it something to do with my install setup?

I have my config/environment.rb like this :

config.gem "adzap-ar_mailer", :lib => 'action_mailer/ar_mailer', :source => 'http://gems.github.com'

when i run ar_sendmail i have this error :
Unhandled exception undefined methodemail_class' for ActionMailer::Base:Class(NoMethodError):
/github/radiant3/vendor/rails/actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:400:in method_missing' /home/pierre/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/adzap-ar_mailer-2.1.1/lib/action_mailer/ar_sendmail.rb:340:ininitialize'

Is this not working with rails 3?

I noticed that for time to time ar_sendmail daemon (/etc/init.d/ar_sendmail) shut down for no reason - or maybe there is a reason, but it has no logs, so I don't know why.

By default, Postfix returns a 450 when the sending email address fails a DNS lookup such as the following:

#<Net::SMTPServerBusy: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found

While I agree that under normal circumstances it would be wise to stop sending should the external server actually be overloaded, in this case, none of the other emails that have been queued behind the offending email will ever be sent. As well, the error message of "server too busy, stopping delivery cycle" isn't accurate and is misleading.

Would it be possible to handle SMTPServerBusy exceptions just like Net::SMTPUnknownError, Net::SMTPSyntaxError, TimeoutError, Timeout::Error which just logs an error and continues on?

When including BCC addresses in my mailer actions, and sending via ar_mailer, a couple interesting things happen:

1. All the expected recipients receive the email, but the BCC header shows up for all to see.
2. Instead of one email being added to the emails table, BCC'd to the additional address, an email record is created for each recipient. I'm no expert on the inner workings of email delivery so I don't know if this accurately represents how BCC'd emails are actually handled (but I suspect it's not).

I've created a simple Rails 2.3.5 application to isolate the issue. I'm running Ruby 1.8.7-174 and the latest adzap-ar_mailer (2.1.7). I'll zip it up and email it your way, Adam. Thanks!
