env | grep RUBY

you're probably activating rubygems via your environment. Your script should have:

require "rubygems"

before requiring your email gem.

Then you're prolly using a different ruby in cron than on cmdline. Use full path to ruby in crontab

It's probably "env-related"

Look at:

For debugging, run "env" in a shell and at cron and see the differences.

I also use this for debugging env issues:

% type newshell
alias newshell='env -i $SHELL --norc'
