Hi,

I just installed ar\_mailer. When i trigger an action that sends out  
feature update mails to everyone, absolutely nothing gets stored in  
emails. But instead i see in log/development.log that

Sent mail:  
From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
Subject: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx  
Mime-Version: 1.0  
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Am i missing something here, why are mails not getting stored in emails  
table. Worse still in production mode, it doesnt even run.

The steps followed:

1. 

I have created a new model email.rb which contains  
class Email \< ActiveRecord::Base  
end

1. I have one more model mass\_notifier which contains:

class MassNotifier \< ActionMailer::ARMailer

def feature\_updates(profile)  
recipients = “#{profile.email}”  
@from = “admin@xxxx”  
@subject = “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”  
@body[:name] = profile.display\_name  
content\_type “text/html”  
end  
end

1. In environment.rb  
I have added require ‘action\_mailer/ar\_mailer’ after the config block  
in

2. In development.rb  
config.action\_mailer.delivery\_method = :activerecord

3. In controller:

Please suggest,

SG

Hi,

Do you have action\_mailer\_tls installed too? I guess that did the trick!  
but its been a while I solved it. Lemme know if it works for you.

Thank you Sandeep…i solved using rails 2.1.1 instead of 2.2.2! I  
suppose that there are some incompatibility issues.

Many thanks!
