Rails - Jun 2005 - ActiveMailer errors

I have an ActionMailer class and a controller that calls it, when I have it
render the email all fields show up like it should send correctly. When I
call AccountMailer.deliver_sent(email) I get  SMTPSyntaxError (501 Bad
address syntax) and looking at my log when it happens, anything I pass
through to the deliver_sent(email) is missing, namely the "to:" field.
I
have no idea why it shows up when I do email
MyMailer.create_sent(@user.email_address)
render_text("<pre>"+email.encoded+"</pre>") but
not when I actually send it.
It is driving me nuts and I need it to work for signups on similarthings.com
 
  

Here is the code that calls the ActionMailer class:

thanks_email = AccountMailer.create_sent(@user.email)

AccountMailer.deliver_sent(thanks_email)


Here is the ActionMailer class:

class AccountMailer < ActionMailer::Base

  def sent(users_email)
    @subject    = ''Thank you''
    @body       = {}
    @recipients = users_email
    @from       =
''scott-+eNEF4B5W7x6hJeZ3vmeHwC/G2K4zDHf@public.gmane.org''
    @sent_on    = Time.now
    @headers    = {}
  end
  
  def subscribe(users_email)
    @subject    = ''subscribe''
    @body       = ''subscribe''
    @recipients =
''similarthings-discuss-request-cR8azDVoa3LyBKHOHz6TidkoLRlNN4sO@public.gmane.org''
    @from       = users_email
    @sent_on    = Time.now
    @headers    = {}
  end

end


Here is my production.rb:

Dependencies.mechanism = :require

ActionController::Base.consider_all_requests_local = false

ActionController::Base.perform_caching = true


If anyone sees something wrong with my config let me know. I am running on
Textdrive which says I do not need any ActionMailer configuration settings
set, default works.

Thanks,
