Rails - Jul 2008 - ActionMailer Not Working After Small Change

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.

BTW, I tried to post this twice yesterday and it never showed up...any
reason why this happened? Thanks...

actionmailer doesn''t understand stuff like that. What will work is  
@recipients = [''foo-+RB1Aph5k6s@public.gmane.org'',
''bar-+LBmYUDmh58@public.gmane.org'']

It''s easy in this sort of situation to make other changes you forget  
about. revert all changes (you are using source control aren''t  
you :-) ) and if the world is sane you should be ok.
In the specific case of email it''s always worth checking mail server  
logs, spam folders etc...
