title: (Ruby) Getting Net::SMTP working with Gmail...?
body: <p>Does anyone have any quality (and up-to-date) information regarding sending mail via Gmail using Ruby's Net::SMTP?  I've seen several examples -- most dating from 2007 to mid-2008 and none of them work for me.  I need more current examples that use the most recent 1.8.7 release.  I'd also appreciate if the documentation didn't only cover simple examples that no one ever really uses.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I'm receiving an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code> SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not terribly familiar with SSL as regards the SMTP protocol, so this is all lost on me.  Unfortunately the Net::SMTP documentation only covers the bases and doesn't provide a full list of the various potential OpenSSL::SSL contexts either so I can't try various ones.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, if anyone has any quality info on getting this to work with Gmail it would be most appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Best.</p>
