Email errors

[Dark Ambient]

I'm working on this recipie from the Ruby Cookbook, but receiving
errors. Not sure if this is code related or system related. I'm
attempting to send mail via my ISP's smtp server.
To protect the innocent I took out the real names of domains , etc.

Errors:

end
end

ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = { :address => 'smtp.mydomain.com',
ort => 25,

puts SimpleMailer.deliver_simple_message('(e-mail address removed)')

I think I had an error in the address , now that's it's corrected I
get a new error:

`check_response': 504 CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanism not supported
(Net::SMTPSyntaxError)

 

[ts]

D> `check_response': 504 CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanism not supported
D> (Net::SMTPSyntaxError)

Net::SMTP use CRAM-MD5 if an user is given and no authentification
mechamnism is given
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

strange english word

I thought typos were one of the syntactic sugars of Ruby.

More like syntactic chili powder ;-)
