Hi.

I think you should use cron and `script/runner'.

write the following code in development.rb

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {

:tls => true,

:enable_starttls_auto => true,

:address => 'smtp.gmail.com',

:port => 587,

:authentication => :plain,

:user_name => 'your...@gmail.com',

:password => 'password'

}

in emailer model write the following code:

class Emailer < ActionMailer::Base

  

def contact(recipient, subject, message, sent_at = Time.now, files=[])

      @subject = subject

      @recipients = recipient

      @from = 'your...@gmail.com'

      @sent_on = sent_at

 @body["title"] = 'This is title'

   @body["email"] = 'your...@gmail.com'

     @body["message"] = message

      @headers = {}

 

 files.each do |file|

    attachment "application/octet-stream" do |a|

      a.body = file.read

      a.filename = file.original_filename

    end unless file.blank?

  end

  

   end

end

create one view and follow the code:

<h1>Send Email</h1>

<% form_for(:emailer, @emailer, :url=>{:action=>'sendmail'}, :html=>{:multipart=>true}) do |f| %>

<%= f.error_messages %>

<p><label for="email_subject">Subject</label>:

<%= text_field 'email', 'subject' %></p>

<p><label for="email_recipient">Recipient</label>:

<%= text_field 'email', 'recipient' %></p>

<p><label for="email_message">Message</label><br/>

<%= text_area 'email', 'message' %></p>

<p><label for="file_upload">Upload</label><br/>

<%= file_field 'email', 'file' %></p>

<%= submit_tag "Send" %>

<% end %>

write the code in the controller:

class EmailerController < ApplicationController

   def index

     

   end

   def sendmail

   

@uploaded_files = []

email = params["email"]

puts email["file"]

@uploaded_files << email["file"]

recipient = email["recipient"]

 subject = email["subject"]

 message = email["message"]

      Emailer.deliver_contact(recipient, subject, message, @uploaded_files)

      return if request.xhr?

 @email = recipient

 @subject = subject

 @message = message

       render :file => 'app\views\emailer\contact.rhtml'

   end

   

   

   

end
