I'm getting this error in production when trying to create a user (i'm using the devise gem).

EOFError (end of file reached):

I hit this problem before and it was due to my smtp settings using zoho mail.

I believe my configuration below is what fixed the problem:

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp  
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {            
  :address              => "smtp.zoho.com", 
  :port                 => 465,              
  :domain               => 'example.com',   
  :user_name            => '[email protected]',
  :password             => 'password',         
  :authentication       => :login,
  :ssl                  => true,
  :tls                  => true,
  :enable_starttls_auto => true    
}

Now we've added SSL to the site and I believe that is what is causing this error to occur now.

Does anyone have any insight into this error or zoho mail smtp settings with SSL?

This error was caused by not having my config/initializers/devise.rb specifying the correct email address for config.mailer_sender.
