Error: write after end

[cosmicdust471]

Hello everyone.

I'am getting this error, and I can´t find anywhere what it means. I have a node app that sends an array of emails and at some point this error ocurrs. Does anyone know what does it mean?

Error: write after end
    at writeAfterEnd (_stream_writable.js:236:12)
    at TLSSocket.Writable.write (_stream_writable.js:287:5)
    at TLSSocket.Socket.write (net.js:697:40)

    at response (/app/node_modules/emailjs/smtp/smtp.js:198:9)
    at caller (/app/node_modules/emailjs/smtp/smtp.js:48:14)

This is my code:

server.send({
	text:    send_array[idx].client_email, 
	from:    sender_email, 
	to:      send_array[idx].client_to,
	cc:      '',
	bcc:     "[email protected]",
	subject: send_array[idx].client_subject + ' SID:' + idx,
	attachment: attachments
}, function(err, message) { 
        //send the next email if there is any
});	 

Thanks!

Me too. This error appear a few days ago.

what version of node are you running?

[eleith]

can you turn on debugging? (uncomment this line: https:/eleith/emailjs/blob/master/smtp/client.js#L9)

it looks like for some reason you are sending a RSET because the SMTP server hit an error and likely closed, but the closing got missed by this library somehow.

smtp connection destroyed!
{ Error: connection encountered an error (write after end)
    at module.exports ... \node_modules\emailjs\smtp\error.js:2:13)

[eleith]

so somewhere along the lines, close(true) was called. any chance you can do some more debugging to determine which one was called?

for example, was it this one? https:/eleith/emailjs/blob/master/smtp/smtp.js#L164

Getting masses of these errors, out of 170 mails, only 3 just got sent, rest were all "Error: connection encountered an error (write after end)" or "Error: write after end". Node 8.11.3
, getting them to non gmail and gmail smtp servers.

[zackschuster]
