I recommend use of Sengrid - http://sendgrid.com/docs/Integrate/Frameworks/rubyonrails.html. I am not familiar with MailChimp, but I suppose that to send messge thourgh MailChimp you must add a contact to campaign, follow-up or something which is much overhead in my opinion.

The type of email you're referring to, is called "Transactional Email" and MailChimp is for "Bulk Email". So no, you can't use MailChimp for that. It's actually against their ToS.

However, the fine people over in Atlanta launched Mandrill just last year. Mandrill handles transactional email like Diego Maradona handles a soccer ball.

Mandrill offers a great number of API methods with awesome documentation.
