a) you didn’t require ‘rubygems’  
b) you don’t need to require ‘smtp\_tls’ on ruby 1.8.7+. Just use  
Net::SMTP’s TLS support like you normally would  
c) Hint:

require ‘net/smtp’  
begin  
require ‘smtp\_tls’  
rescue LoadError  
end

smtp = Net::SMTP.new address, port  
smtp.enable\_starttls  
smtp.start Socket.gethostname, user, password, authentication do |  
server|  
server.send\_message message, from, to  
end

Do you have openssl?

Hi,  
I did the example and got this error:

uninitialized constant Net::SMTP::OpenSSL

the error occurs when run smtp.enable\_starttls

Same hit?

Thanks Eric.

I got “no such file to load – openssl (LoadError)”

Then I used (on ubuntu 9.4):

sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby libssl0.9.8

And Not resolved.

I’m using ruby 1.9.1p0.

Eric,

I removed ruby 1.9 and used apt-get to install 1.8.7 with libs:

$ sudo apt-get install ruby irb rdoc rake rubygems libopenssl-ruby1.8  
libssl0.9.8

That works!!!

Thanks

You’re probably not using the smtp\_tls gem then:

$ gem list -dr smtp\_tls

Hi Eric,

Excuse me my poor english. I tried to say when I uninstall ruby 1.9 and  
reinstalled using apt-get to ruby 1.8.7, the problem was resolved. Now  
with ‘gem list -dr smtp\_tls’ like you sugested, I have the message  
above, than, thats all right.

Thank you very much.
