SocketError in EmailController#correspond
getaddrinfo: no address associated with hostname.
Please see above, these are the errors i get when i try to email a user
on my networking site. Can you help please.
Actionmailer address = smtp.vodafone.ie
Below is code used for the email controller in
apps/controllers/email_controller.rb There doesnt seem to be any code
missing. Can someone help with this error, are there any possible
solutions???
Thanks.
class EmailController < ApplicationController
layout “site”
include ApplicationHelper
include ProfileHelper
before_filter :protect, :only => [ “correspond” ]
def remind
@title = “Mail me my login information”
if param_posted?(:user)
email = params[:user][:email]
user = User.find_by_email(email)
if user
UserMailer.deliver_reminder(user)
flash[:notice] = “Login information was sent.”
redirect_to :action => “index”, :controller => “site”
else
flash[:notice] = “There is no user with that email address.”
end
end
end
def correspond
user = User.find(session[:user_id])
recipient = User.find_by_user_name(params[:id])
@title = “Email #{recipient.name}”
if param_posted?(:message)
@message = Message.new(params[:message])
if @message.valid?
UserMailer.deliver_message(
:user => user,
:recipient => recipient,
:message => @message,
:user_url => profile_for(user),
:reply_url => url_for(:action => “correspond”,
:id => user.user_name)
)
flash[:notice] = “Email sent.”
redirect_to profile_for(recipient)
end
end
end
end
Aoife,
does your server have a DNS server set in the network settings so it
can determine the ip address for that domain?
Just did an nslookup on that domain:
tretch$ nslookup smtp.vodafone.ie
Server: 68.87.76.178
Address: 68.87.76.178#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can’t find smtp.vodafone.ie: No answer
Sounds like it can’t be found. ping doesn’t work either.

Hi,
Thanks for that. Yes i didnt actually find that address anywhere i just
assumed it was correct as it was used by another person, i found out
previously through another forum.
I have just changed over to my eircom broadband and used the
smtp.eircom.net address which i have found to be correct. But im still
getting an error, it’s now saying it is rejecting the address but they
are both valid email addresses. What could i be leaving out?? Im lost
with this one!
Thanks in advance,
Aoife.
Current Error:
Net::SMTPFatalError in EmailController#correspond
