Anyone had any problems sending emails (performing the delivery) using  
Cucumber.

When I set “config.action\_mailer.perform\_deliveries = true”, in  
cucumber.rb, the emails don’t actually get sent to my inbox. I’ve  
tried putting the following in both cucumber.rb and test.rb:

config.action\_mailer.delivery\_method = :smtp  
config.action\_mailer.perform\_deliveries = true

Any ideas?
