Can't send via VPN

[Sascha K. Manns]

Hello List,

i've found out an interesting thing.

I'm using:

Pony.mail({
                    :to => emailaddress,
                    :bcc => own_email_address,
                    :from => own_email_address,
                    :subject => subject,
                    :body => body,
                    :attachments => {'Bewerbungsunterlagen_Manns.pdf' => File.read(filename)},
                    :via => :smtp,
                    :via_options => {
                        :address => own_smtp,
                        :port => '587', # default: 25
                        :user_name => own_username,
                        :password => own_password,
                        :authentication => :plain, # :plain, :login, :cram_md5, no auth by default
                        :domain => 'localhost.localdomain', # the HELO domain provided by the client to the server
                    }
                })
    end

Then i'm using a VPN (aitvpn). But if i'm sending i'm get:

Non US-ASCII detected and no charset defined.

Maybe anyone has ideas why?

Sascha,

Thanks for using Pony. The error you're seeing (Name or service not known (SocketError)) means that it can't resolve the hostname of the SMTP server.  You could try using the IP address instead. Perhaps your vpn isn't setting the correct DNS servers, what OS are you running?

Hi Ben,

thanks for answering. I'm using it on Ubuntu 16.10.

I found out that the Name or service unknown issue is gone after disabling VPN. Actually it gives me that issue:

/home/sascha/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3/lib/ruby/2.2.0/net/smtp.rb:541:in `initialize': getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype (SocketError)

I'm trying to resolve the server "smtp.mailbox.org" on Port 587. It's the prefered connection provided by the server.

Possibly an Ubuntu configuration issue?

Thanks for the try. But that doesn't fix it.
Do you think that the issue is a bug on my machine? If yes, i can give a Ubuntu list a try. Or what do you think?

Greetings Sascha

Sascha,

Looking back at your example, try setting the port as an interger, not
as a string. Ie 587 instead of '587'. That might be the problem.

Thanks

Hi Ben,

i tried it out. But sadly that doesn't work too.

Hi Ben,

good news. Adding a "require 'resolv-replace.rb'" on the top of my module does the magic. Also it allows to use a VPN with Pony.

Sascha,

That's great! Glad it's working and thanks for following up.
