You need to configure your action mailer in the application else you can  
aslo do with plain ruby using net/http.

You need to generate an actionmailer using ruby script/generate mailer  
  
This will generate the mailer required files for you.  
Once you are done with that you need to configure with the  
evnironment.rb  
file  
ActionMailer::Base.server\_settings{  
:address =\> ‘required address’,  
:port =\>‘port number’,  
:domian =\> ‘which mailer domain you are using’,  
:authentication =\> ':login,  
:usernmae =\>‘username’,  
:password =\> ‘passwrod’  
}  
Once these are configured you need to write the mailer code in it.You  
can  
also refer to page 411 from the book agile web developement which  
contains a  
chapter regarding this mailer functionality
