Hello everyone! In the console, it says “Email sent” with all informations. But when I check my inbox I got nothing. Any help? Thank you! ---

No I’m in local so I use localhost. Am I wrong? ---

Get Rails out of the equation. Can you have your local smtp server send out emails directly, without using Rails? On Mar 9, 4:50 pm, Guillaume L. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

Without knowing what your SMTP server is, not much we can do. One generic way is with telnet. A search for “telnet smtp send email” gives you this post: [http://blogs.crsw.com/mark/archive/2006/07/06/2032.aspx](http://blogs.crsw.com/mark/archive/2006/07/06/2032.aspx) Also, try locating the mail server’s logs and see if that points you on the right direction. Hope that helps, -Harold On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 5:13 PM, Guillaume L. \< ---

Are you running in Development mode? ActionMailer defaults to not raising errors in Development mode. Edit this line in your config/ environments/development.rb file (If the line doesn’t exist, add it) config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = true This will at least trigger an error, which can help you identify the root cause.
