Hi everybody,  
Im facing problems in sending mail using actionmailer. Im trying to do a  
simple stuff where user types in his message and the receiptent email  
address, the n that message should be received by the receiptent. I have  
checked the development.log file, but there I havent noticed any error,  
the workflow of the program is fine, but at the end of the day, the  
receiptent is not receiving the mail

Below is the controller file:

class EmailerController \< ApplicationController  
def sendmail  
recipient = params[:reciptent]  
subject = params[:subject]  
message = params[:message]  
Emailer.deliver\_contact(recipient, subject, message)  
return if request.xhr?  
render :text =\> ‘Message sent successfully’  
end

thiis is the emailer class:

class Emailer \< ActionMailer::Base  
def contact(recipient, subject, message, sent\_at = Time.now)  
@subject = subject  
@recipients = recipient  
@from = ‘[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)’  
@sent\_on = sent\_at  
body[“title”] = ‘This is title’  
body[“email”] = ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’  
body[“message”] = message  
@content\_type = “text/html”

```
  @headers['Reply-To'] = "'Webmaster' <removed_email_address@domain.invalid>"

```

end  
end

This the settings that I have put in environment.rb file

ActionMailer::Base.raise\_delivery\_errors = true;  
ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :smtp;

ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com](http://smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com)”,  
:port =\> 25,  
:domain =\> “[bizmail.yahoo.com](http://bizmail.yahoo.com)”,  
:authentication =\> :plain,  
:user\_name =\> “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”,  
:password =\> “somepassword”  
}

and this is the setting is development.rb file

config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = true  
config.action\_mailer.delivery\_method = :smtp

this is output is my development log file

You’ve got a typo, and so you’re not setting the recipient (notice in  
the log how it doesn’t say who the email is sent to )
