Email notifications are beating me...

[Bryan Noll]

So, I've tried quite a few things, from using my company's internal SMTP server to using an extra gmail account I have and attempting to use their server.  All of it ends up giving me this plugin error:

554 5.7.3 Unable to initialize security subsystem at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:680:in `check_response'

Here's my current gmail settings.  What am I doing wrong?

 ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
   :address =>        "smtp.gmail.com",
   :port =>           587,
   :domain =>         "gmail.com",
   :authentication => :plain,
   :user_name =>      "my_user_name",
   :password =>       "my_password"
 }

[Bryan Noll]

So I got a little farther.  I'm no longer getting the error.  Changes I made:

originally:
:user_name =>      "my_user_name"

now:
:user_name =>      "[e-mail]"

i'm getting no error now, but I'm also not getting an email at the address I specified in the 'project.email_notifier.emails' property for my project.  I've verified there's not a type in the email address I've specified there.

Can it be simply because the build is not failing?

If the build IS failing, and you still aren't getting the emails,
please run cruise with --trace flag, trigger the build and see what
the builder log says (you should see the entire SMTP conversation in
it). If that doesn't help, please email me the log.

So I must've been fat fingering something earlier... because I got the gmail smtp stuff working with the following.  I'm still having issues with our internal smpt server.  I'll keep banging on that and report back here if/when I figure it out.

Thanks for the help...

 ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
   :address =>        "smtp.gmail.com",
   :port =>           587,
   :domain =>         "gmail.com",
   :authentication => :plain,
   :user_name =>      "the_username",
   :password =>       "the_password"
 }

OK... so it's working just fine using gmail.  Here's the log from when I tried to use our internal smtp server.

This is a known problem. Basically, smtp_tls plugin makes it possible for CC.rb to talk to TLS-enabled SMTP servers (like GMail), but unfotunately breaks servers that have no TLS. At the time 1.1 was released, everybody on the dev team was using TLS-enabled servers, and so the bug went unnoticed.

Deleting the aforementioned plugin from ./vendor/plugins directory should fix the problem with your local SMTP server (but will break interoperability with GMail).
