require "smtp_tls"
require 'action_mailer'


class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base

    ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "someone@openrain.com",
:password => "someonesPassword"
}

def Notifier.test_email(user_email)
       subject    "Free C1Alis"
       from       "system / example.com"
       recipients user_email
       body       "Get large, #{user_email}!@"
     end


 end

Notifier.deliver_test_email('testuser / gmail.com')
