Net::SMTP? Not really a mailer though. I know Rails includes a Mailer 
component. If I have my facts right, it uses a library called TMail to create 
the mail messages... The Net::SMTP documentation also recommends RubyMail as 
an option for mail generation.

So, you get the data from the form, compose the mail object to send using 
TMail or RubyMail, then use Net::SMTP to send the mail object. If what you're 
doing is simple enough to go without a full blown webapp framework, this 
should work perfectly.
