OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError on exception

[kevinheneveld]

Simply adding this gem to my gemfile triggers

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol)

error every time ANY email is sent. Removing this gem allows mail delivery to return to normal...

I'm using rails (3.0.11) and actionmailer (= 3.0.11)

+1, not the same, but I get OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError - hostname does not match the server certificate on random times. One time I got this because of a wrong intendation in a yml locale file, one time in a view when I've missed %> and another time in a view when I called .size on a recordset.

Removing the gem from the gemfile OR removing the middleware line from application.rb solves this.

MRI 1.9.3, RoR 3.2.3

Can you please try adding the following in the initializer and let me know if the error still occurs:

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:openssl_verify_mode => 'none'
}

I've got a similar issue, but I'm unable to send any emails, including exception notifications. Is there a way to configure exception_notifier to log all outgoing messages?

[smartinez87]

@jgc94131 so it is a more general issue for you? You can not send any email?

[jgc94131]

Yes, it's more general. I'd like to log the output of exception_notifier, in places where I have no outbound email service, or if the outbound email service is down.

I do have a specific case of a server being upgraded to postfix from qmail which seems to have broken action_mailer. (side note: even my hp printer can send emails after this change, but not the rails app!)

This seems to be more like a bug in your interaction between ruby and OpenSSL rather than a bug in ExceptionNotification.
