First time every trying to send an email from Rails. It seems to be working all expect the email never get delivered.
So here’s the mailers class:
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default :from => "contact@triplingo.com"
def purchase_email(name, email, txid, itemname, code)
@name = name
@txId = txid
@itemName = itemname
@code = code
@email = email[1].gsub("%", "@")
mail(:to => @email, :subject => "Thank you for your purchase")
end
end
I call it in the controller here:
UserMailer.purchase_email(@name, @email, @txId, @itemName, @code).deliver
No errors, in fact I get a great feedback in the console:
Rendered user_mailer/purchase_email.html.erb (0.6ms)
Rendered user_mailer/purchase_email.text.erb (0.5ms)
Sent mail to ross@triplingo.com (25ms)

So how do I start to diagnose the issue? Thanks!
By default Rails doesn’t actually send emails in the development environment. If you want emails sent in development then you should follow the steps in this question:
