See https://github.com/apache/whimsy/blob/master/MACOSX.md#configure-sending-of-mail Getting this to work will require you to get ~/.whimsy file to work. Previously you deleted/renamed that file so that you can make forward progress. Now that you have a working system, hopefully you can recreate that file and identify and address why it wasn't working for you. Longer answer: mail requires things called a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). In the early days of the internet, wide open mail transfer agents were overrun by spammers. Now MTAs implement some sort of authentication. The MTA that services the ASF requires that email come from a whitelisted machine. Generally when we spin up a new VM for whimsy we have to ask the infra team to add the new VM to the whitelist. On rare occasions, this has broken and we need to ask the infra team to fix it. Taken together, I wrote a small test tool (mentioned in the link above) to verify that sending of mail is possible. When testing locally, you will need to conform to what your local mail server uses. In my case, I can use mail.twc.com as long as the email is going out through my ISP provided modem. Or, as mentioned in the link above, you can use gmail as the MTA as long as you have a valid gmail user and password. You may have access to other MTAs. - Sam Ruby > mail = Mail.new do > to "#{user.public_name}<#{user.mail.first}>" > # cc "secret...@apache.org" > from "#{user.mail.first}" > subject "Conflict of Interest affirmation from #{user.public_name}" > body "This year's Conflict of Interest affirmation is attached." > end > mail.attachments["#{user.id}.txt"] = affirmed > mail.deliver! > end > > #<Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port > 25> > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/smtp.rb:539:in > `initialize' > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/smtp.rb:539:in `open' > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/smtp.rb:539:in > `tcp_socket' > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/smtp.rb:549:in `block in > do_start' > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/timeout.rb:95:in `block in > timeout' > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/timeout.rb:105:in `timeout' > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/smtp.rb:548:in `do_start' > /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/smtp.rb:518:in `start' > > /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/network/delivery_methods/smtp.rb:109:in > `start_smtp_session' > > /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/network/delivery_methods/smtp.rb:100:in > `deliver!' > /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/mail-2.7.1/lib/mail/message.rb:276:in > `deliver!' > /srv/whimsy/www/officers/coi.cgi:177:in `block in emit_post' > > > > On Jun 22, 2020, at 3:29 PM, Craig Russell <apache....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Another couple of questions: > > > > 1.
