Subject: [ruby-core:35854] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #4598][Open] Net::SMTP should raise more helpfully when mail can't send


Issue #4598 has been reported by Tyler Kieft.

----------------------------------------
Feature #4598: Net::SMTP should raise more helpfully when mail can't send
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4598

Author: Tyler Kieft
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: lib
Target version: 


Net::SMTP, in function check_continue? (line 952) raises "could not get 3xx (STATUS_CODE)" when it receives anything except a 300-399 (continue) code from the SMTP server.  This is *extremely* unhelpful for users of the library, as the mail server usually sends an explanatory message that isn't passed along.

Suggest that it should be something like:

 def check_continue(res)
   unless res.continue?
     raise SMTPUnknownError, "could not get 3xx (#{res.status}: #{res.string})"
   end
 end
