Class Merb::Mailer
In: lib/merb-mailer/mailer.rb
Parent: Object

You‘ll need a simple config like this in init.rb if you want to actually send mail:

  Merb::Mailer.config = {
    :host   => 'smtp.yourserver.com',
    :port   => '25',
    :user   => 'user',
    :pass   => 'pass',
    :auth   => :plain # :plain, :login, :cram_md5, the default is no auth
    :domain => "localhost.localdomain" # the HELO domain provided by the client to the server
  }

  or

  Merb::Mailer.config = {:sendmail_path => '/somewhere/odd'}
  Merb::Mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail

You could send mail manually like this (but it‘s better to use a MailController instead).

  m = Merb::Mailer.new :to => 'foo@bar.com',
                       :from => 'bar@foo.com',
                       :subject => 'Welcome to whatever!',
                       :html => partial(:sometemplate)
  m.deliver!

You can use :text option to specify plain text email body and :html for HTML email body.
