I've x'd out some of the information. But the problem I am having I
think is that it will not allow me to use "em" as an email address to
send. I can physically change em to 'whateveriwant@whatever.com' and it
will work perfectly fine. I'm taking this email address out of a
POST-REQUEST form so I need the flexibility to store it as a variable
and send whatever that variable the email is. Any suggestions would be
awesome, and if you need more information please let me know.
ok i had another look at this example, which doesn't look bad at
all. for i'm not able to find an error i've to ask: are you sure that
cgi['email'] actually holds the emailaddress desired? Does the
emailaddress appear in the generated content of the message?

Thanks for replying. I attempted that method as well and it does not
work either, as you said it is equiv to em. I've been constantly
browsing the net to find a solution, but nothing is coming up. Any other
ideas that pop up let me know. Thanks in advance.
I knew em was holding the email address just fine, but you can't stick
em on the end and it just send the email, I can't put anything other
than 'an_emailAddres@something.com' otherwise I get an error....Not sure
how to get around this is my point...
Now as you can see, the #{em} did not print out the the To: statement,
but I'm not sure that it should in this instance. So I made another line
that says this:
So it seems as if em is getting the email address, but I'm still
completely lost as to why I cannot use this string to send the
emailaddress. I've changed the email to something@yahoo.com to make sure
the underscore was not causing any problems but same problem occurs.
Thanks for your time!

you seem to be doing web thingy, so
1 pls replace em with another variable email or address will do. we try to avoid template clobbering..
2 when posting problems pls show logs fr client and fr server
3 put debugging options on your code, eg using net/smtp, i usually do,
smtp.set_debug_output $stderr # verbose output mail session

No, i think he has them the right way around. I can't see anything wrong
with what Brantley is doing though. I've included some code that I use that
does pretty much the same thing, and I know it works. The only real
difference, is I haven't used <<HEREDOC syntax. But it does the same thing.
Hopefully this will help.
The email is going from the student, to the trainer.
def submit_results(sid, cid, aid, results)
student = ::Student[sid]
result = student.submit_results(cid, aid, results)
trainer = student.get_trainer(cid)
course = ::Course[cid]
assessment = ::Assessment[aid]
submissionEmail = "From: #{student.first_name} #{student.last_name}
<#{student.email}>\n"
submissionEmail += "To: #{trainer.first_name} #{trainer.last_name}
<#{trainer.email}>\n"
submissionEmail += "Subject: Assessment Submission: '#{course.name}' -
'#{assessment.name}'\n\n"
submissionEmail += "#{student.first_name} has submitted results for '#{
assessment.name}' in '#{course.name}'.\n"
submissionEmail += "Please log in to mark #{student.first_name}'s
answers.\n\n"
Net::SMTP.start('localhost') {|smtp| smtp.send_message(submissionEmail,
student.email, trainer.email)}
result
end

just realized - you have the arguments reversed
it's
msg, to, from
not
msg, from, to

but that's another story."
I've found some information that may be useful to those helping me on
this small project. The following code works just fine:
from_address = 'bshields@linus.highpoint.edu'
to_address = 'brantley_shields@yahoo.com'
Net::SMTP.start('linus.highpoint.edu') do |smtp|
smtp.send_message(myMessage,from_address,to_address)
end
So, what is the difference between " and ' to ruby? I checked the error
logs on my server (got ahold of the administrator) and the logs show a
tainted to_address. I know the email itself is not tainted and that it
will send an email address to the one being put into to_address. I've
tried multiple simple email addresses such as "hello@yahoo.com" which
would not be tainted. So I think its confusing the string or whatever
to_address is being referred to as, its interpretting it as something
else. how can I convert to_address to 'somelikethis' ?
