Subject: [ruby-core:71243] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11628] [Open] Net::SMTPServerBusy is not behaving according to documentation
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 10:28:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.issue-11628.20151028102822.1dc7ea75cca33d27@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-11628.20151028102822@ruby-lang.org

Issue #11628 has been reported by Robert Pankowecki.

----------------------------------------
Bug #11628: Net::SMTPServerBusy is not behaving according to documentation
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11628

* Author: Robert Pankowecki
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The documentation for Net::SMTPServerBusy says _Represents SMTP error code 420 or 450, a temporary error_ (http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.2.0/libdoc/net/smtp/rdoc/Net/SMTPServerBusy.html)

However the code for that is:

~~~
      def exception_class
        case @status
        when /\A4/  then SMTPServerBusy
        when /\A50/ then SMTPSyntaxError
        when /\A53/ then SMTPAuthenticationError
        when /\A5/  then SMTPFatalError
        else             SMTPUnknownError
        end
      end
~~~

so it actually represents any error code starting with 4, including such as: `Net::SMTPServerBusy: 401 4.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax`.

It doesn't help that different pages in internet list different error codes:
