smtp - from field shows up blank in client

Max Payne

2/17/2008 7:06:00 AM

Hello,
I'm using the following code which is working fine except the from
address comes up blank.

smtp = Net::SMTP.start('smtp.mydomain.com', 587, 'mydomain.com',
'username@mydomain.com', 'password', :login) { |smtp|
smtp.send_message( msg, 'from@mydomain.com',
['towhoever@gmail.com'] )
}
The email goes out but it doesn't tell me who it's from.
In gmail the from is (Unknown Sender), In yahoo or others it's blank.
What am I missing?

Hello Max,

I think the from/to/subject needs to be part of your message, like this:
msg = <<EOF
From: Me <my@address>
To: You <your@address>
Subject: This email is a test.

This is the start of the message body...
EOF

Good luck,
Dan

Also, if you're missing the date, you'll need to add that in. Check out
the example on my page here:

Thanks , putting it all in the message did the trick. Mohit thanks for
the great example. Now I need to figure out how to CC. The
send_message method takes a to and a from...

Hi Max

I've never tried CC, so I don't know. But, if you do get it, please
post here for future reference - I'll also update the example on my page
after that.

Cheers,
Mohit.

I added a cc_mail var and an extra parameter for send_message and it
worked although I didn't completely test. I received a [You were Cc'd]
message on my blackberry so I'm thrilled. If I had more cc's then I
would have used an array of email addresses.

cc_mail = 'to@ccemail.com'

msg = <<EOF
From: #{from_name}<#{from_mail}>
To: #{to_name}<#{to_mail}>
Cc: #{cc_mail}
Subject: E&D upload complete.

#{body}
Powered By Ruby
EOF

smtp = Net::SMTP.start(smtp_host, smtp_port, smtp_domain, smtp_user,
smtp_password, :login) { |smtp|
smtp.send_message(msg,smtp_user,to_mail,cc_mail)
}

I have read taxes are only 15% for EVERYONE in Russia.
There are a lot of Russian millionaires.
When all the cunning rich people have moved there,
then the remaining dumbos will live in the Somalia of N. America,
ruled by various war lords.

As to disarming people,
reminds me of Germany before WW2,
then the Jews could be round up without any resistance.

OTOH when people will be able to get their own personal nukes,
collateral damage from one idiot will extend city wide.

So maybe there IS a balance somewhere.

No immediate solution from me,
but I will watch the fireworks.
either way!
