Can anyone help me withTimeout error in rails 2.0.2

Hello,
I have been trying since long to send a mail thorough rails…
Previously when I had rails version 1.2.5 the sending mails worked fine.
But now when i try to send a mail in rails 2.0.2 I always get
timeout error Execution expired.

Though i am able to catch the error I cannot understand why the error is
generated in rails 2.0.2 and not in rails 1.2.5.
Please advice me how can i fix the problem . The following is the error

execution expired(Net::ProtocolError):
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in rbuf_fill' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:intimeout’

Thank you.

Hello People,

This is an announcement for a new web app which is called “Sensei”.

It’s a site which will have videos on how to start to use Rails - one
every few days :-).

The cool thing is, the first few videos will be totally free for at
least a while!! The first one will be up as soon as I’ve sent this
email address.

We’d really appreciate your comments :-). You can email us at
[email protected]

Regards,
Julian.
