Rails - Jan 2006 - ActionMailer in production vs development environments?

I''m using ActionMailer to write an email message; for the time being
I''m
creating an email object, but rendering it in the browser instead of
sending it. I have code like this:

email = PasswordMailer.deliver_confirm(@member)
render(:text => "<pre>" + email.encoded +
"</pre>")

This works great in the development environment but throws a Rails error
in production. Why would it work in one environment and not the other?

Deliver will deliver the mail object directly. Maybe you have  
delivering turned off in the dev mode by the configuration and it  
doesn''t therefore hit the place where the error is thrown. Could you  
post the relevant part of the production.log so it would be easier to  
track the error? It might just be that ActionMailer can''t reach your  
smtp server.

You should use create_confirm instead if you just wanted to create  
the mail object and not deliver it.
