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:in`timeout’  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:132:in`rbuf\_fill’

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:686:in `critical' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:396:in`do\_start’

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  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
.

Regards,  
Julian.
