UnknowHostException

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hey!

I end up having a really odd problem here when I try to send mail.
This "used" to work, but since I reinstalled my computer it stopped... any help would be very appreciated.

user=> gmail
{:ssl true, :host "smtp.gmail.com", :user "kitofr@gmail.com", :pass "my_password"}

user=> (send-message gmail { :from "kitofr@gmail.com" :to "kitofr@gmail.com" :subject "FOO" :body "bar"} )

UnknownHostException marvin: nodename nor servname provided, or not known  java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.lookupAllHostAddr (Inet6AddressImpl.java:-2)

I did some research and found a couple of places in the code base where Inet6Addresses are being used, but can't really understand why my hostname should be affecting mail sending :/

Ok, so I upgraded from java 1.7 to 1.8 and this issue just went away. (This is on Mac and Yosemite)
