Action Mailer

Can someone write a little code that SOULD work and that the tested to
make sure it worked, I’ve been trying to get AM to work for over 3
months now, anything, even something that just sends (Time.now)

I used the mailer setup in the techno-weenie wiki. Here is the url,

I only use the mailer for activation though, which is how it is
described.
