I’m getting an error when I’m tyring to use the actionmailer.  
undefined method `deliver\_signup\_thanks’ for Notifier:Class

This is what I have in the controller.  
def emailTest  
Notifier::deliver\_signup\_thanks()  
render\_text “email test”  
end

This is what I have in notifier model (notifier.rb)  
class Notifier \< ActiveRecord::Base  
def signup\_thanks()  
# Email header info MUST be added here  
@recipients = “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”  
@from = “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”  
@subject = “Thank you”

```
# Email body substitutions go here
# @body[â??first_nameâ?] = user.first_name
# @body[â??last_nameâ?] = user.last_name

```

end  
end

This is what I have in environment.rb  
ActionMailer::Base.server\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[smtp.postoffice.net](http://smtp.postoffice.net)”,  
:port =\> 25,  
:domain =\> “[www.test.us](http://www.test.us)”,  
:user\_name =\> ‘test’,  
:password =\> ‘test’,  
:authentication =\> :login  
}

Can anyone see anything wrong here? Appreiciate the help. Thanks

That should be a subclass of ActionMailer::Base if you want to use it  
to send mail…

You might try to do the following:

./script/generate mailer Notifier signup\_thanks

Then look at the files it generated and compare to yours. 🙂
