# 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!
