Ruby mailer is coming up with an EOFError
Solution 1
Alright, thank you guys, I actually had malformed code in the UserMailer. The actual code I had in the from line had a <> encasing an email address and had the senders name on the outside. Though that has worked on some of the private email servers I have used/work on, it does not work on Hostmonster. Soo, for anyone that ends up using Hostmonster in the future, keep everything about your mailers configuration simple (the message can be complicated but the SMTP Config needs to be simple). Thanks.
Solution 2
This can also happen if the SMTP server is down. (I use a 3rd party mailer called Sendgrid and this happened once when it goes down entirely)
Solution 3
If you are using "ZOHO" to send email,
one of the reason I had a problem with this was.
- You should use a valid
from
value. In my case, I used a non existing email accountdefault from: "[email protected]"
hence zoho server is not allowing the email to be sent which causes EOF Error. - You should allow IMAP settings on ZOHO
Solution 4
Do you have to authenticate to the mail server?
:authentication => :plain (if so), :enable_starttls_auto => true

I am getting an EOFError (End Of File Error) on this code in my controller. The block where the error appears is at the end of the line that says
UserMailer.deliver_message(
I am unaware as to how to fix this, I have been stuck for about 2 months and this site was suggested. Please help.def contact @title= "Contact Us" if request.post? @message= Message.new(params[:contact]) if @message.valid? UserMailer.deliver_message( :message => @message ) flash[:notice] = "Thank you for contacting us" redirect_to contact_url end end end
Here is the message file:
<%= @message.name %> has sent feedback or a question: Message: <%= @message.body %> From: <%= @message.email %>
And here is the UserMailer
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base def message(mail) subject 'Feedback/Questions' recipients 'Email@email' from 'webmaster' body mail end end
Alright here is the error I get
EOFError in PedalsController#contact
end of file reached
and here is the application trace

Maybe I am missing something really stupid, but if someone can answer this, that would be amazing. Also, what is my fix?
