The formatting of your listing is that it cannot be copied. Could you provide a text-only version of your script?

Some puts here, some exception handling there, and I found out the error occurs in this exact line:
"ActionMailer::Base.deliver(mail)"

Error is "broken pipe".

What is the reason for that? It only happens when called by cron.
Thanks in advance.

When I put both my script and send_gmail.rb in my home dir and call mine, everything works fine.

But when I try to make that a cron task, I get an error when I call SendGMail.send_gmail I get the following error: "Broken pipe".

What could be that?

I want to send a .rar file as attachment.(files as attachments directly)
Means i will specify the path and the filename the script will automatically take that file as attachment.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for your suggestion.

But still I am facing the same problem.

One interesting issue i found is whatever the name of file i am giving for attachment its taking that as attachment irrespective of that file existence.

My Code is like this raw_attachment={:mime_type=>'application/pdf', :body=> 'make_body', :transfer_encoding=>'base64', :filename=> "somename.pdf" }
hsh[:raw_attachment]=raw_attachment

I did some mistake in above code as i am not able to understand what the ":body=>" is doing.i think its the data part..may be anyway

MY requirement is

script to handle files as attachments directly

And in the last comment change all misspellings of "attachement" to "attachment"

2008-06-09T19:26:00.000-04:00

In send_gmail try changing

raw_attachments=
hsh.fetch(:raw_attachements, [])

to:
raw_attachments = []

and attachments should work. At least for one attachment. But from there you should be able to figure the rest out.

Email is working fine.I am receiving the mail but its showing the attached file size as 1Kb..when I decompress I can't able to do that..

Any suggestion ????

I suppose that's a typo.
":domain => @domain.com,"
Great script, I couldn't figure out how to get ssl to work.
