Overview

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 '[email protected]'
  from '[email protected]'
  subject 'testing sendmail'
  body 'testing sendmail'
end

Or by calling deliver on a Mail message

mail = Mail.new do
  to '[email protected]'
  from '[email protected]'
  subject 'testing sendmail'
  body 'testing sendmail'
end

mail.deliver!

.shellquote(address) ⇒ Object

The following is an adaptation of ruby 1.9.2’s shellwords.rb file, with the following modifications:

  • Wraps in double quotes

  • Allows ‘+’ to accept email addresses with them

  • Allows ‘~’ as it is not unescaped in double quotes

  # A LF cannot be escaped with a backslash because a backslash + LF
  # combo is regarded as line continuation and simply ignored. Strip it.
  escaped = address.gsub(/([^A-Za-z0-9_\s\+\-.,:\/@~])/n, "\\\\\\1").gsub("\n", '')
