Forum: Ruby on Rails problem with mailer in rails 3

hi..
i got problem with mailer
 i m done with
=> rails g mailer UserMailer
=> in usermailer : def signup_notification(user)
        @activation_url = 
BASE_URL+activate_user_path(user.activation_code)
          @user = user
mail(:to => user.email_id, :subject => "account activate instruction")


=> views/signup_notification.html.erb
   <%= activation_url %>


=> rails c
=> UserMailer
 i get UserMailer
=> UserMailer.signup_notification(@user).deliver

here are the steps I follow for Notification stuff

1. have a user controller and model
2. create rails mailer: rails g mailer user_mailer
3. open app/mailers/user_mailer.rb and added following method

def signup_nofitication(user)
@user = user
end

it should work now.

goto console, and run

user = User.last
UserMailer.signup_nofitication(user).deliver

let me know if it works for you or not.. if not then post error
message as well.
