Derek,

     Thanks for the advice.
     As you suggested, I removed the rescue for this error, and now  
get this message:

Net::SMTPSyntaxError in User#signup

501 Syntax: HELO hostname
/app/controllers/user_controller.rb:28:in `signup'
/app/controllers/user_controller.rb:22:in `transaction'
/app/controllers/user_controller.rb:22:in `signup'
script/server:49

So, am I to believe that either my hostname is malformed or that  
ActionMailer is not providing a good HELO?

rake default (with the rescue commented) results in this:
1) Error:
test_signup(UserControllerTest):
RuntimeError: Failed to send email
     /Users/quangdog/Rails/test/config/../test/mocks/test/ 
user_notify.rb:11:in `perform_delivery_test'

     ./test/functional/user_controller_test.rb:78:in `do_test_signup'
     ./test/functional/user_controller_test.rb:144:in `test_signup'

9 tests, 255 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors
rake aborted!


With the rescue block in place, it passes all rake tests.


Thanks!
