You're right! I just leeched a nightly binary and indeed, it's missing.

Who's doing the nightly builds? Sam? (The tar file says rubys/rubys as
user/group.) Could you please include the SMTP transport required jars
in your build environment? Last time I checked, they could be found
here:

Hmm, my patch only addressed your issue #2 below. I was assuming that the
#1 problem had something to do with your code or your environment setup,
as all this worked peachy for me when I tried it (which is... exactly once -
to test if that patch worked...). So I don't know what the problem is
there...
