Cant send email on Redmine 0.8.5.devel: An error occurred while sending mail (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2))

Added by Vlad Gurovich about 15 years ago

Ive installed the latest from trunk(svn) yesterday and followed the blog tutorial to the dot:
http://redmineblog.com/articles/setup-redmine-to-send-email-using-gmail/

email.yml:

production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    domain: smtp.gmail.com
    authentication: :login
    user_name: "user@gmail.com" 
    password: "password" 
    tls: true

P.S. I tried it with Google Apps count, it didnt work, so I tried with a regular gmail account to remove any apps issues. still didnt work.

This is the error thats displayed:

An error occurred while sending mail (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2))

When I enable debug logging and mail logging this is the only thing that i receive in the production.log

Sent mail to  <-----  BLANK, NO EMAIL ADDRESS HERE IN THE LOG

I couldnt get any other debug info from redmine. I verified that Im able to telnet to smtp.google.com 587 from my server so firewall is not an issue and I was very careful with formatting of email.yml.
Im out of ideas here and Ive already spent a day trying to get this working for my team.
Any help with fixing this or enabling me to gather more information of which arguments the error message refers to would be appreciated.

Note, Ive done the same on dreamhost with slightly earlier version couple weeks ago and it works fine.

RESOLVED:

The issue was in action_mailer_optional tls:
http://www.redmine.org/issues/1598

removing authtype from the call to check_auth_args on line 33 of vendor/plugins/action_mailer_optional_tls/lib/smtp_tls.rb fixes the problem. Looks like a bug in action_mailer_optional_tls rather than redmine.

Looks like Net::SMTP changed the function signature for check_auth_args. Bad programmer - no red bull for you.

IT all works now. I wish the redmine blog would update his howto
