[SOLVED] Sending email with attachments in Ruby with the Pony Gem

Sending email with attachments in Ruby with the Pony Gem

I am writing a script that is going to be sending out emails to a list of people and with this email there is going to be an attachment.

I keep running into this issue:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/smtp.rb:942:in 'check_response': 552 sorry, that message size exceeds my databytes limit (#5.3.4) (Net::SMTPFatalError)

The attached file is only 110kb

Code:

    Pony.mail(
        :to => to,
        :from => 'Me <me@me.com>',
        :subject => html_entity_decoder.decode(options[:subject]),
        :html_body => "#{options[:body]}".html_safe,
        :attachments => {File.basename("#{attachment}") => File.read("#{attachment}")},
        :headers => { "Content-Type" => "multipart/mixed", "Content-Transfer-Encoding" => "base64", "Content-Disposition" => "attachment" },
        :via => :smtp, 
        :via_options => {
          :address        => ADDRESS,
          :port           => '25',
          :enable_starttls_auto => true,
          :user_name      => USERNAME,
          :password       => PWD,
          :authentication => :plain,
          :domain         => DOMAIN
          }
      )

Any idea on what could be wrong?

Solution

This is telling you that the mailbox you are sending it to, has run out of space.

The error is an SMTP error : 552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation

outlined in the rfc http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt.

So either the mail box is full or you are sending something that will not fit in it
