Sending E-mail and Building a Newsletter Mailing List

  • Chapter
Practical Rails Social Networking Sites

Abstract

In this chapter, we will add functionality to allow the RailsCoders site to send e-mail to our users. There are many instances where it is useful to be able to automatically send e-mails directly to users, such as sending a welcome mail when they sign up or mail to allow them to reset their passwords. In this chapter, we will create an automated mailer that will inform users when someone has left a new comment in their blogs, which will allow the blog’s owner to quickly reply to the comment.
