class Net::SMTP

What is This Library?

This library provides functionality to send internet mail via SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. For details of SMTP itself, see [RFC5321]. This library also implements SMTP authentication, which is often necessary for message composers to submit messages to their outgoing SMTP server, see [RFC6409], and [SMTPUTF8], which is necessary to send messages to/from addresses containing characters outside the ASCII range.

What is This Library NOT?

This library does NOT provide functions to compose internet mails. You must create them by yourself. If you want better mail support, try the mail or rmail gems, or search for alternatives in RubyGems.org or The Ruby Toolbox.

FYI: the official specification on internet mail is: [RFC5322].

Examples

Sending Messages

You must open a connection to an SMTP server before sending messages. The first argument is the address of your SMTP server, and the second argument is the port number. Using SMTP.start with a block is the simplest way to do this. This way, the SMTP connection is closed automatically after the block is executed.

require 'net/smtp'
Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25) do |smtp|
  # Use the SMTP object smtp only in this block.
end

Replace ‘your.smtp.server’ with your SMTP server. Normally your system manager or internet provider supplies a server for you.

Then you can send messages.

msgstr = <<END_OF_MESSAGE
From: Your Name <your@mail.address>
To: Destination Address <someone@example.com>
Subject: test message
Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2001 16:26:43 +0900
Message-Id: <unique.message.id.string@example.com>

This is a test message.
END_OF_MESSAGE

require 'net/smtp'
Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25) do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message msgstr,
                    'your@mail.address',
                    'his_address@example.com'
end

Closing the Session

You MUST close the SMTP session after sending messages, by calling the finish method:

# using SMTP#finish
smtp = Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25)
smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@address', 'to@address'
smtp.finish

You can also use the block form of SMTP.start or SMTP#start. This closes the SMTP session automatically:

# using block form of SMTP.start
Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25) do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@address', 'to@address'
end

I strongly recommend this scheme. This form is simpler and more robust.

HELO domain

In almost all situations, you must provide a third argument to SMTP.start or SMTP#start. This is the domain name which you are on (the host to send mail from). It is called the “HELO domain”. The SMTP server will judge whether it should send or reject the SMTP session by inspecting the HELO domain.

Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25, helo: 'mail.from.domain') do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@address', 'to@address'
end

SMTP Authentication

The Net::SMTP class supports the SMTP extension for SASL Authentication

RFC4954

and the following

SASL mechanisms: PLAIN, LOGIN _(deprecated)_, and CRAM-MD5 _(deprecated)_.

To use SMTP authentication, pass extra arguments to SMTP.start or SMTP#start.

# PLAIN
Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25,
                user: 'Your Account', secret: 'Your Password', authtype: :plain)

Support for other SASL mechanisms-such as EXTERNAL, OAUTHBEARER, SCRAM-SHA-256, and XOAUTH2-will be added in a future release.

The LOGIN and CRAM-MD5 mechanisms are still available for backwards compatibility, but are deprecated and should be avoided.

Constants

DEFAULT_AUTH_TYPE

Authentication

VERSION

Attributes

address[R]

The address of the SMTP server to connect to.

capabilities[R]

The server capabilities by EHLO response

esmtp[RW]

Set whether to use ESMTP or not. This should be done before calling start. Note that if start is called in ESMTP mode, and the connection fails due to a ProtocolError, the SMTP object will automatically switch to plain SMTP mode and retry (but not vice versa).

esmtp?[RW]

Set whether to use ESMTP or not. This should be done before calling start. Note that if start is called in ESMTP mode, and the connection fails due to a ProtocolError, the SMTP object will automatically switch to plain SMTP mode and retry (but not vice versa).

open_timeout[RW]

Seconds to wait while attempting to open a connection. If the connection cannot be opened within this time, a Net::OpenTimeout is raised. The default value is 30 seconds.

port[R]

The port number of the SMTP server to connect to.

read_timeout[R]

Seconds to wait while reading one block (by one read(2) call). If the read(2) call does not complete within this time, a Net::ReadTimeout is raised. The default value is 60 seconds.

ssl_context_params[RW]

Hash for additional SSLContext parameters.

tls_hostname[RW]

The hostname for verifying hostname in the server certificatate.

tls_verify[RW]

If true, verify th server’s certificate.

Public Class Methods

default_port() click to toggle source

The default SMTP port number, 25.

  context
end
default_ssl_port()
Alias for: default_tls_port
default_submission_port() click to toggle source

The default mail submission port number, 587.

# File net-smtp-0.5.0/lib/net/smtp.rb, line 203
def SMTP.default_submission_port
  587
end
default_tls_port() click to toggle source

The default SMTPS port number, 465.

# File net-smtp-0.5.0/lib/net/smtp.rb, line 208
def SMTP.default_tls_port
  465
end
Also aliased as: default_ssl_port
new(address, port = nil, tls: false, starttls: :auto, tls_verify: true, tls_hostname: nil, ssl_context_params: nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new Net::SMTP object.

address is the hostname or ip address of your SMTP server. port is the port to connect to; it defaults to port 25.

If tls is true, enable TLS. The default is false. If starttls is :always, enable STARTTLS, if :auto, use STARTTLS when the server supports it, if false, disable STARTTLS.

If tls_verify is true, verify the server’s certificate. The default is true. If the hostname in the server certificate is different from address, it can be specified with tls_hostname.

Additional SSLContext params can be added to the ssl_context_params hash argument and are passed to OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#set_params.

tls_verify: true is equivalent to ssl_context_params: { verify_mode: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER }.

This method does not open the TCP connection. You can use SMTP.start instead of SMTP.new if you want to do everything at once. Otherwise, follow SMTP.new with SMTP#start.

# File net-smtp-0.5.0/lib/net/smtp.rb, line 248
def initialize(address, port = nil, tls: false, starttls: :auto, tls_verify: true, tls_hostname: nil, ssl_context_params: nil)
  @address = address
  @port = (port || SMTP.default_port)
  @esmtp = true

  @socket = nil
  @started = false
  @open_timeout = 30
  @read_timeout = 60

end
start(address, port = nil, helo: 'localhost', user: nil, secret: nil, authtype: nil, tls: false, starttls: :auto, tls_verify: true, tls_hostname: nil, ssl_context_params: nil) { |smtp| ... } click to toggle source
start(address, port = nil, helo = 'localhost', user = nil, secret = nil, authtype = nil) { |smtp| ... }

Creates a new Net::SMTP object and connects to the server.

This method is equivalent to:

Net::SMTP.new(address, port, tls_verify: flag, tls_hostname: hostname, ssl_context_params: nil)
  .start(helo: helo_domain, user: account, secret: password, authtype: authtype)

See also: Net::SMTP.new, start

Example

Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server') do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@example.com', ['dest@example.com']
end

Block Usage

If called with a block, the newly-opened Net::SMTP object is yielded to the block, and automatically closed when the block finishes. If called without a block, the newly-opened Net::SMTP object is returned to the caller, and it is the caller’s responsibility to close it when finished.

Parameters

address is the hostname or ip address of your smtp server.

port is the port to connect to; it defaults to port 25.

helo is the HELO domain provided by the client to the server (see overview comments); it defaults to ‘localhost’.

If tls is true, enable TLS. The default is false. If starttls is :always, enable STARTTLS, if :auto, use STARTTLS when the server supports it, if false, disable STARTTLS.

If tls_verify is true, verify the server’s certificate. The default is true. If the hostname in the server certificate is different from address, it can be specified with tls_hostname.

Additional SSLContext params can be added to the ssl_context_params hash argument and are passed to OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#set_params.

tls_verify: true is equivalent to ssl_context_params: { verify_mode: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER }.

The remaining arguments are used for SMTP authentication, if required or desired.

authtype is the SASL authentication mechanism.

user is the authentication or authorization identity.

secret or password is your password or other authentication token.

These will be sent to authenticate as positional arguments-the exact semantics are dependent on the authtype.

See the discussion of SMTP Authentication at Net::SMTP in the overview notes.

start(helo: 'localhost', user: nil, secret: nil, authtype: nil) { |smtp| ... } click to toggle source
start(helo = 'localhost', user = nil, secret = nil, authtype = nil) { |smtp| ... }

Opens a TCP connection and starts the SMTP session.

Parameters

helo is the HELO domain that you’ll dispatch mails from; see the discussion in the overview notes.

The remaining arguments are used for SMTP authentication, if required or desired.

authtype is the SASL authentication mechanism.

user is the authentication or authorization identity.

secret or password is your password or other authentication token.

These will be sent to authenticate as positional arguments-the exact semantics are dependent on the authtype.

See the discussion of SMTP Authentication at Net::SMTP in the overview notes.

See also: Net::SMTP.start

Block Usage

When this methods is called with a block, the newly-started SMTP object is yielded to the block, and automatically closed after the block call finishes. Otherwise, it is the caller’s responsibility to close the session when finished.

Example

This is very similar to the class method SMTP.start.

require 'net/smtp'
smtp = Net::SMTP.new('smtp.mail.server', 25)
smtp.start(helo: helo_domain, user: account, secret: password, authtype: authtype) do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@example.com', ['dest@example.com']
end

The primary use of this method (as opposed to SMTP.start) is probably to set debugging (set_debug_output) or ESMTP (esmtp=), which must be done before the session is started.

Errors

If session has already been started, an IOError will be raised.

This method may raise:
