Hello -

I’m using action mailer in a SVN post-commit script to send out emails.  
Everything was working fine with actionmailer 2.2.2. Now that U  
upgraded to actionmailer 2.3.4 I’m getting errors.

This is the code I’m using and was working.  
def simple\_message(repo, to, sub, message)  
from “#{repo} SVN [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)” ## Note - [[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] results  
in a blank sender  
recipients to.join(", ")  
subject sub  
body message  
content\_type “text/html”  
end

This is the error  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:930:in `check_response': 550 5.1.0 Not our Customer (Net::SMTPFatalError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:899:in `getok’

`deliver!' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-2.3.4/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:395:in `method\_missing’  
from post-commit.rb:181

Is there a workaround for this? Could I just require the older version  
of actionmailer? If so, what is the syntax?

Thanks

The problem seems to be an issue with actionmailer 2.3.3

[https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3078-actionmailer-233-broke-display-name-support-in-from-address-when-using-smtp](https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3078-actionmailer-233-broke-display-name-support-in-from-address-when-using-smtp)

I’m working around it in my envrionment but doing this until it gets  
resolved.
