Recently ran into this issue on mail 2.4.3 (not sure if it has been fixed yet), but the problem for me was that the auto generated content-id contains your computer hostname, and my computer hostname had an illegal character (apostrophe) in it, causing the auto generated content-id to fail at parsing.

The fix is to change your computer hostname to something without illegal characters.
For mac:
scutil --set HostName YOUR_NEW_HOSTNAME

It sounds like an ill-formed message, could you please attach the full source of the message? Feel free to anonymise it a bit if you like, or email it to me directly (as an attachment): [email protected]

Sounds like you might've found a bug in the mail gem. ;-)

I started getting this same bug today. What's weird is that I didn't have the issue yesterday, and I didn't change the e-mail. @mmrobins or @sj26 any progress?

It actually went away for me briefly the other day when I upgraded my Rails app to 3.2.10, so I figured something there fixed it - but it's back today. Also I reverted the Rails upgrade and tested it and still have this problem. I emailed sj26 the full message source, and will anonymize the content so I can post it here.

The only thing I can think of is config changes to my system (I restarted this morning)

I also have a slightly different stacktrace (annoymized):

@phillbaker That script triggers it for me too, nice. I think there's an extra end in your script, but after I got rid of that I get the following:

@sj26, to follow up on this, do you think this is a bug outside of mailcathcher (in mail gem, rails, some system component)?

What other information would help to track this down? OS/Ruby/Gemfiles? Could this be an encoding issue?

from mailcatcher.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

Hey guys, sorry I've been a bit flat out, I'll take a look tonight and get back to you, but yeah it looks to me like an upstream problem, probably in the mail gem's parsing code.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

I actually can't replicate this with the example email you supplied.

What version of the mail gem are you both using when able to replicate the issue? That might be a clue.

from mailcatcher.

phillbaker commented on May 4, 2024

Thanks, I do appreciate the help.

So looks like latest mailcatcher specifies mail ~> 2.3, rails (actionmailer) 3.2.8 and 3.2.10 specify ~> 2.4.4, so the chosen gem is mail (2.4.4). Current mail version is 2.5.3, about a month old. Looks like quite a few bugs have been patched.

I'm on ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin12.2.1].

There are several other devs working on this exact same repo without this issue, so my guess is that it's not necessarily mailcatcher itself.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

Keep in mind mailcatcher runs as a ruby gem, outside of bundler, so it'll use whatever the latest compatible version of the mail gem you have installed is. Perhaps your devs have differing versions of mail? Try updating mail and see what happens.

phillbaker commented on May 4, 2024

Ah, interesting. I actually bundle exec mailcatcher, so mail is only the bundled one.

I did try with the following setup:

 i18n (0.6.1) 
 multi_json (1.5.0) 
 activesupport (3.2.10) 
 daemons (1.1.9) 
 eventmachine (1.0.0) with native extensions 
 haml (3.1.7) 
 mime-types (1.19) 
 polyglot (0.3.3) 
 treetop (1.4.12) 
 mail (2.5.3)  <- latest mail
 rack (1.4.3) 
 rack-protection (1.3.2) 
 tilt (1.3.3) 
 sinatra (1.3.3) 
 thin (1.5.0) with native extensions 
 skinny (0.2.3) 
 sqlite3 (1.3.6) with native extensions 
 mailcatcher (0.5.10) 
Using bundler (1.2.3)

Same error:

OH okay. Your email doesn't have a Message-ID or part Content-IDs which are required in RFC 2822. Normally the mail gem just generates one for any parts without one, but for some reason it seems to be skipping in your case. How are you constructing this email? Whatever is generating it should be providing a content id.

I think this breaks because mailcatcher use content ids (or CIDs) to load the different parts inside a multipart html and text email. I still can't replicate the failure on my machine. I initially had trouble replicating this because I used the mailcatcher's catchmail script which wraps the outgoing email in the mail gem before sending it off which adds content-ids and such required things before it hits mailcatcher:

Dear Auz Foo,

...

(see Content-ID: <[email protected]>)

I've been explicitly writing out an SMTP session with the literal email you've posted, but still no failure.

Try adding Content-ID to your source email and see if that fixes the error on your end. If it does, try to track down inside the mail gem why it's not populating content_id on the Part, which part it actually is in the message, etc. Even better, make a failing test case against the mail gem!

phillbaker commented on May 4, 2024

Fascinating, thanks for digging into this. Everything is generated using ActionMailer, so I'm puzzled why headers would be missing. I'll dig around and see.

Thanks!

from mailcatcher.

phillbaker commented on May 4, 2024

Just for posterity sake, in my config/environment/development.rb I added:

  require 'digest/sha2'
  ... 
  config.action_mailer.default = { 'Message-ID' => "<#{Digest::SHA2.hexdigest(Time.now.to_i.to_s)}@example.com>" }

which resolved the issue. Not sure why this is an issue on some setups of the same rails project, and not others.

We can probably close this issue, thanks @sj26!

marktabler commented on May 4, 2024

Weighing in - I'm working in the same workgroup as @mmrobins above (on a different project), and I've had the coming/going 550 problem as well. I tried the action_mailer default workaround @phillbaker suggested above, and didn't have any luck. I'll try a few other solutions and share my findings, but it's the same missing message-id issue at its core.

from mailcatcher.

phillbaker commented on May 4, 2024

@marktabler, fascinating. Were you able to reproduce the error with the test script? What OS/ruby/rails/etc. are you on? Does anyone else in the group have a similar issue?

I'm curious to see if we can establish a common denominator.

from mailcatcher.

marktabler commented on May 4, 2024

Sorry for the delay in responding, but the problem has vanished again. I can't begin to fathom why this is an intermittent issue; the environment and the code just aren't changing in any way that I'm aware. Currently my emails go out and the test script runs, and that's with or without the workaround @phillbaker posted earlier. If it comes back I'll try to catch more data, including test script results.

I'm getting the same error code, but with a slightly different message:

I'm using Rails 3.2.11 on MRI 1.9.3-p374 on OS X 10.8.2

I've tried @phillbaker's workaround but it didn't change the error. I've looked at the output for the emails in the log and it is generating Content IDs and a Message ID

I've tested my code on my staging environment (Heroku with SendGrid) and messages are being sent without a problem.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

@thicksoup that's a different issue which I've never seen before. Could you please send me the MailCatcher log output and the full message source you are trying to send?

from mailcatcher.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

@thicksoup be careful, too, because "Cannot receive from specified address <...>: Unauthenticated senders not allowed" is not a message that I can see anywhere in eventmachine's SMTP handling, so you may not even be sending through mailcatcher.

from mailcatcher.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

@mmrobins without a repeatable trigger we can't really diagnose this. If you come up with a way to repeatedly trigger the error please let me know, but for now I'll close the issue.

from mailcatcher.

mmrobins commented on May 4, 2024

@sj26 Thanks for looking into it. I don't even get the error anymore, so definitely don't know how to get it to be repeatable. I have a hunch that it might had had something to do with a gemset that used at some point that I'm not using now. That is I may have run mailcatcher from a directory where there was a problem with the other gems installed in an rvm gemset specified in the .rvmrc, but wherever I run mailcatcher from now doesn't have that problem. If I figure anything out for how to get this to happen reliably I'll update here.

from mailcatcher.

amree commented on May 4, 2024

I'm getting the same error as @thicksoup. Should I open a new issue or post the info here?

from mailcatcher.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

@amree can you post an example which triggers the error please? Preferably the full source of an email body sent to mailcatcher, and any logs you get from mailcatcher in response.

from mailcatcher.

amree commented on May 4, 2024

I'm sorry, but I've forgotten where I saw the log. But the problem still exists. Mailcatcher didn't catch any email and there's no error at all in the mailcatcher log (I ran it using mailcatcher -f -v). I'm testing it using forgot password from Devise.

I followed your guide from the main page and added these codes in development.rb:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "localhost", :port => 1025 }

This is the message from Rails server log:

I tried sending email using plain old ruby with this script and it mailcatcher did catch it successfully:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'net/smtp'
require 'time'

def send_message(smtp, from, to)
  msg = <<END_OF_MESSAGE

  smtp.send_message(msg, from, to)
end

Net::SMTP.start('localhost', 1025) do |smtp|
  send_message(smtp, '[email protected]', '[email protected]')
end

I tried checking /var/log/mail.log but there's nothing useful. By the way, the full source code for my app is available at http://github.com/amree/bertukar/.

sj26 commented on May 4, 2024

@amree your config/environments/development.rb does not appear to have the mail catcher config as you describe. If you added it then tried sending mail then you may have forgotten to restart rails. That you are seeing the message text in the rails logs means something in your application is misconfigured.

from mailcatcher.

amree commented on May 4, 2024

Ah, I didn't mention it earlier, I'm still testing mailcatcher, so, the new codes haven't been pushed to the repo. But as I've mentioned earlier, I've added these two lines in the config:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "localhost", :port => 1025 }

@dounan that sounds like a mail gem bug! It should be aware of the content encoding of the message and use compatible content-id. Maybe you could add an issue?
