Exception handling

[Smedrick]

I'm having an issue with Pony 1.0 where it seems to fail (in an epic
fashion) when passed faulty send_to email addresses. My app is
managing large lists of email addresses, maintained by users. I parse
through the list and send of the email with Pony.mail inside of a
begin...rescue. When a bad boy comes through (something like
user@gmail ...no ".com"), my whole task grinds to a halt and the rest
of the list doesn't get processed. Am I looking for functionality
from Pony that doesn't exist?

What's the error you're receiving? You probably want to wrap the call
to Pony in a begin/rescue block. I'd guess it's an exception bubbling
up from Net::SMTP or Mail.

That's part of the problem, I get no error...just a halt.  If Pony is passing off bubbled exceptions, perhaps something underlying isn't configured to be whiny...it is a production server, after all.  Thanks for the tip, I'll do some tests straight with Mail to see if it's behaving properly.

Richard,

That sounds interesting, what does something like:

===
begin
Pony.mail(...)
rescue error e
warn $!
end
===
return (where mail is substituted for your actual mail call)

Ankit,

An example would be something like:

Pony.mail( to: 'b...@dole.com', from: 'bi...@dole.com', subject: 'Test
message', body: 'This is only a test')

You can see more examples on the pony page:
