Could you please post a program to send mail without using Action Mailer

ruby-talk

require 'net/smtp'

def send_email(to,opts={})
  opts[:server] ||= 'localhost'
  opts[:from] ||= 'email@example.com'
  opts[:from_alias] ||= 'Example Emailer'
  opts[:subject] ||= "You need to see this"
  opts[:body] ||= "Important stuff!"

  msg = <<END_OF_MESSAGE

···

From: #{opts[:from_alias]} <#{opts[:from]}>
To: <#{to}>
Subject: #{opts[:subject]}

#{opts[:body]}
END_OF_MESSAGE

  Net::SMTP.start(opts[:server]) do |smtp|
    smtp.send_message msg, opts[:from], to
  end
end
I tried this but it doesn"t work

Define "doesn't work". Do you get an error message?

There are these alternatives that I know of:
https://rubygems.org/gems/pony
https://rubygems.org/gems/mail

Here is an example that works in Ruby 1.8.6.
Comments are in english but the receivers are french speaking people...
Mind the blank lines in the mailtext variable.

def send_general

···

#===============#
# send the file "fichier_html" via SMTP to the adresses contained in the
file "Destinataires.txt" with a text

# read the file and base64 encoding
  filecontent = File.read(@fichier_html)
  encodedcontent = [filecontent].pack("m") # base64

# read the "to" adresses
  dest = Array.new
  IO.foreach("Destinataires.txt") { |ligne|
    ligne.chomp!
    if not ligne.empty? then dest.push(ligne) end }
  marker = "==_batilus123456_=="

# message text
  body =<<EOF
Veuillez trouver ci-joint les résultats de : #{@laRegate.nomReg} du
#{@laRegate.date}

Commentaire : #{@commentEntry.text}

Le B.V.B.M.G.H.

N.B.: Veuillez ne pas répondre à ce courriel qui vous a été envoyé
automatiquement
EOF

# header text
  part1 =<<EOF
Subject: CVBM : resultats de regate
From: CVBM <contact@bvbmgh.fr>
To: Destinataires <destinataires@bvbmgh.fr>
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"#{marker}\"
MIME-Version: 1.0

--#{marker}
EOF

# message definition text
  part2 =<<EOF
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding:8bit

#{body}

--#{marker}
EOF

# attachment definition
  part3 =<<EOF
Content-Type: application/htm; name=\"#{@fichier_html}\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding:base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"#{@fichier_html}\"

#{encodedcontent}

--#{marker}--
EOF

  mailtext = part1 + part2 + part3
  mes = "Résultats envoyé à :"
  dest.each { |d| mes = mes + "\n" + d }

# Send the message
  begin
    Net::SMTP.start('smtp.orange.fr') { |smtp| smtp.sendmail(mailtext,
'michel.revesche@wanadoo.fr', *dest) }
    self.infoBox(@geneDialog, mes) # display information
  rescue Exception => e
    self.erreurBox(@geneDialog, e) # display error
  end
  end

Here's the sort of thing I do using the mail gem. You can use gmail's
smtp server if you have a gmail account set up:

require 'mail'

options = {
  :address => 'smtp.gmail.com',
  :port => 587,
  :user_name => 'example@gmail.com',
  :password => 'password',
  :authentication => 'plain',
  :enable_starttls_auto => true
}

Mail.defaults do
  delivery_method :smtp, options
end

Mail.deliver do
  from 'example@gmail.com'
  to %w(me@here.com you@there.com)
  subject 'Test'
  body 'Test email'
  if attachments.size != 0 && attachments[0]
    attachments.each {|filename|
      add_file(filename)
    }
  end
end
