Redmine

Hello everybody,

When adding or modifying an issue (or anything that generates email notification for that matter) email notifications were not sent.

I've analyzed the problem and it seems like when a user sets his email to contain national characters f.e. "paweł@kosmosik.net" and he is a member in project entire notification (to all members will be not send).

I think it is Redmine or maybe RoR bug but I am not a Ruby person to debug it throughly.

When I set config.action_mailer.logger to log entire message to file the generated message lacks any "To:" or "BCC:" headers - basically it lacks recipients.

When the underlying Ruby SMTP class processes the message it gets an error from SMTP server:

Net::SMTPSyntaxError (501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax

  public/dispatch.fcgi:24

On SMTP server side I get:
