How to send the email by Ruby script?

ruby-talk
1

Hi, Guys,
I can read my sina.com email by the following code:
require 'net/pop'
Net::POP3.foreach('*pop3.sina.com.cn*', 110,
  'my_email@sina.com', 'my_password' ) do |email|
  hdr = email.header
  if hdr =~ /\d+/
    language = hdr.to_s
  else
    language = "INVALID"
  end
  puts language
end

I would like to send email by *smtp.sina.com.cn*, there is code on the net:

Net::SMTP.start('smtp.sina.com.cn',25) do |smtp|
  smtp.send_message "hello", 'cjq_999@sina.com', ['cjq_999@sina.com']
end
But I get error message:
*e:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:680:in `check_response': 530
Authentication required (Net::SMTPUnknownError)*

So, how can make it I can send the email by the ruby code?

Any suggestion would be quite appreciated.

Thanks.
Wesley Chen.

I haven't needed to, but a Google search should find you quite a few hits.
