Email Senders in distress,
"getaddrinfo: no address associated with hostname. "
Likely now ruby/smtp is trying to do a DNS lookup on the domain you
provided. So if you made a hostname that actual does not resolve to
anything it will get upset. The simplest thing to do is add the new
domain to your "hosts" file. Which in Windows is in this directory
within "system32" /drivers/etc/hosts. Add a line for you computer/
domain name:
example:
192.168.1.2 nicedell.localhost
But this is just the start of your problems. Getting the email to
yahoo's SMTP servers is about as far as the email will get. Yahoo is
going to be VERY,VERY strict about allowing you to send email from a
random computer it's never received email from. Secondly, your actual
IP address at your gateway is what Yahoo will see as the sending
source IP and this won't match your envelope nor match the sending
domain. All of this headache is for defending against SPAM bots and
the like.
You need to do some reading about these email authentication schemes:
SenderID
SPF
Domain Keys
