That has nothing to do with the quotes. You're not sending a valid email (with envelope) to the mail handler.

How exactly do you post the request? Do you use rdm-mailhandler.rb supplied with redmine?

We send mails from Thunderbird or Outlook 2010.
Mails are processed by the rdm-mailhandler.rb script, and everything works fine most of the time.
I was also puzzled by the log entry: with other mails, I see the whole mail, with headers and everything.

Mails are forwarded from Postfix through a local alias as described in the documentation:

foo: "|/path/to/rdm-mailhandler.rb --url http://redmine.domain --key secret --project foo"

Here is the postfix log:

Oct 26 10:22:16 our-server-name postfix/local[29197]: 593A212042B: to=<redmine@localhost>, orig_to=<redmine@xxx.net>, relay=local, delay=119, delays=118/0.02/0/0.18, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Failed to contact your Redmine server (500).

Any idea?

  • Status changed from New to Closed
  • Resolution set to Cant reproduce

You can find from the stack trace that the exception is raised in TMail gem. However, TMail was replaced with Mail in Rails 3.0. This means that TMail is not used by Redmine 2.0 and later.
https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/71ffa760701d2240ece5f17b75df316611ecb3d0

Please reopen this issue if you are still experiencing the same problem in the latest version of Redmine.
