This is a guide on how to send message from your email using Ruby on Rails. First thing to do is to create a mailer for you to use in your application.

  • Open the command prompt window or your terminal
  • Run “./script/generate mailer MyMailer” from your Rails application home directory

Then you will have to configure the mailer. To be able to do this you should;

In your text editor, open config/environment.rb
Then add this script in the file’s bottom part

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => “smtp.example.com”,
:port => 25,
:user_name => “username”,
:password => “password”,
:authentication => :plain
}
