Rails - Jul 2008 - ActionMailer Not Working After Changing Recipient Email Address

Greetings,

Well though my crash-course on Rails, I''ve encountered a mystery that
is driving my somewhat insane. Our previous web developer wrote a
quick form on our site that allowed the user of the site to request a
consultaion. The user simply fills in their name, email, phone number
and a message, then submits the form. The form was working perfectly,
but I wanted to change the subject line. So, I searched through all of
my Rails files to determine where I would make that change. I found
the appropriate file in "Models".

class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base

  def consultation_request(details)
    @subject    = ''Request''
    @body       = {:details => details}
    @recipients =
''boss-zuv13RyHHZkAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org''
    @from       = details[:email]
  end
end

In the process, I noticed that the message was currently being sent to
my boss at ''boss-zuv13RyHHZkAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org''. For
testing purposes, I changed his email
to my email, ''my-zuv13RyHHZkAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org'' and
sent a test message. It worked great!
Then, I tried to see if I could have multiple recipients by formatting
as follows:

''my-zuv13RyHHZkAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org;
my-HMywgCz3680N+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org''

It did not work. I didn''t get any errors, but I didn''t receive
any
email either. Obviously, my syntax was wrong, so I changed it back to
just be ''my-zuv13RyHHZkAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org'' and it
still does not work. I can''t even get
the original configuration to work. Any ideas? Thank you soooo much
for any help you can provide.

Recipients should be an array of strings. If you use a comma-separated  
list, that should work as well.

So,

recipients [''boss-zuv13RyHHZkAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org'',
''me-B4qg7kJ0jjfQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org'']

is probably best (note that recipients is actually a method and not an  
assignment to an instance variable). You could also do:

recipients ''boss-zuv13RyHHZkAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org,
me-B4qg7kJ0jjfQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org''

on many systems.

HTH
