SMTP server and port number etc. I am getting follwoing errors, please
tell me the reason of errors.

msgstr = <<END_OF_MESSAGE

Message-Id: <[email protected]>

This is a test message.
END_OF_MESSAGE

require 'net/smtp'
Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25) do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message msgstr,
                    '[email protected]',
                    '[email protected]'
end

Errors:

testmail.rb:16: can’t find string “END_OF_MESSAGE” anywhere before EOF
testmail.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting tSTRING_CONTENT
or tSTRI
NG_DBEG or tSTRING_DVAR or tSTRING_END

Remove the spaces from in front of the second ‘END_OF_MESSAGE’. The end
of a heredoc string has to be right at the start of the line.

Alternatively at the start of the heredoc do:
msgstr = <<-END_OF_MESSAGE
which allows the end of the heredoc to be indented.
