Hi all,

I am using ar\_mailer for sending newsletter. I got mails queued in  
emails table. However when running ar\_sendmail to begin sending the  
mails, an exception is thrown:

Unhandled exception wrong number of arguments (7 for 6)  
(ArgumentError):  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ar\_mailer-1.3.1/lib/action\_mailer/  
ar\_sendmail.rb:408:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ar_mailer-1.3.1/lib/action_mailer/ ar_sendmail.rb:408:in`deliver’  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ar\_mailer-1.3.1/lib/action\_mailer/

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ar\_mailer-1.3.1/lib/action\_mailer/  
ar\_sendmail.rb:496:in `run' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ar_mailer-1.3.1/lib/action_mailer/ ar_sendmail.rb:340:in`run’  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ar\_mailer-1.3.1/bin/ar\_sendmail:5  
/usr/bin/ar\_sendmail:19:in `load’  
/usr/bin/ar\_sendmail:19

I am using ar\_mailer version 1.3.1.

I know the solution is this below:

The solution is: make them match either by providing the all required  
arguments or delete those unavailable arguments (for you) in the  
ar\_sendmail function.

How exactly do I fix this error. I am new to RoR. Can someone give  
me the steps to modify the environment file please.

Thank you,

Sean McGilvray

which ruby version are you using? I think I had a similar problem  
using ruby 1.8.7 and solving it by downgrading to 1.8.6…
