A delivery method implementation which sends via sendmail.
To use this, first find out where the sendmail binary is on your computer, if you are on a mac or unix box, it is usually in /usr/sbin/sendmail, this will be your sendmail location.
Mail.defaults do delivery_method :sendmail end
Or if your sendmail binary is not at ‘/usr/sbin/sendmail’
Mail.defaults do delivery_method :sendmail, :location => '/absolute/path/to/your/sendmail' end
Then just deliver the email as normal:
Mail.deliver do to 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net' from 'ada@test.lindsaar.net' subject 'testing sendmail' body 'testing sendmail' end
Or by calling deliver on a Mail message
mail = Mail.new do to 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net' from 'ada@test.lindsaar.net' subject 'testing sendmail' body 'testing sendmail' end mail.deliver!
