Running into an issue while sending an SMTP mail with v2.7.1 on Ruby 3.0.0 on container

Please find the config below:

def self.send_using_options(options, environment)
        options[:from] = '[email protected]'
        options[:via] = :smtp
        options[:via_options] = {
          address: smtp_server_address(environment),
          port: '25',
          domain: 'company.com',
          enable_starttls: false
        }
        Pony.mail(options)
      end

We had run into a similar issue on Ruby 2.6.4 with mail v2.8.x, downgrading mail to v.2.7.1 resolved the issue.
With ruby uplift to 3.0.0 the issue has resurfaced even on mail v2.7.1
