Action Mailer contact form

I am trying to use Rails and the Action mailer to create a simple
contact
form on a website. I am using a table-less model to validate the form
contents, then trying to use the Action Mailer chapter of the “Agile Web
Development
with Rails” book as a pattern to develop the send e-mail portion. I am
having trouble getting it working and was hoping someone could point me
in the
right direction. Thanks.

====================================================

  1. class ContactController < ApplicationController
  2. def send_msg
  3. @contact = Contact.new(params[:contact])
  4. if @contact.valid?
    
  5. contact =  get_contact
    
  6. email =  ContactMailer.create_confirm(contact)
    
  7.  render(:text => "<pre>" + email.encoded +  "<pre>")
    
  8. flash[:notice] = "Message  Sent"
    

10.# redirect_to :action => ‘index’
11. else
12. render :action => ‘index’
13. end
14. end
15.
16. def get_contact
17. @contact
18. end
19.
20. end
