Hi,

There’s a base class for that stuff, ActionMailer :

> **[ActionMailer::Base](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html)**
>
> Action Mailer allows you to send email from your application using a mailer model and views. Mailer Models To use Action Mailer, you need to create a mailer model.

You juste have to take the address you got from the form and send an  
email  
following the described procedure. You can even send attachments ^^  
If you want further details feel free to ask, but I never had any  
problem  
with this class.
