In my worker, I have code that looks like this:

PostOffice.deliver\_application\_rejected(profile\_rejection.user\_id)

But it doesn’t look like the email is being sent. Any ideas?

Thanks,  
Andy

Hi Andy,

Is BackgrounDRb configured to run with the production environment?  
By default it runs in development and that could quench e-mail delivery.
