Send Email From Rails Console

gistfile1.rb

# Simple approach to sending email from the Rails console
# Implementation idea courtesy of Steve Klabnik
# http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2012-09-09-random-ruby-tricks--class-new

# Create the mailer class with a block and assign to a variable
mailer = Class.new(ActionMailer::Base) do
  def example_message
    mail(to: "test@test.com", from: "test@test.com", subject: "Example Message") do |format|
      format.text { render text: "Example message body" }
    end
  end
end

# Use the class just as you would a typical mailer
mailer.example_message.deliver

the above does not work with rails 5.

  mailer = Class.new(ActionMailer::Base) do
      def example_message
        mail(to: "test@test.com", from: "test@test.com", subject: "Example Message", body: "Example message body")
     end
  end
  mailer.example_message.deliver!
