Actionmailer says email sent but it never gets there (Rails 3)

Actionmailer won't send emails in development, even though they say 'sent' in the console.

gemlist:

gem 'send_grid'

development.rb:

config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true 
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "localhost:3000" }

setup_mail.rb:

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    :address => "smtp.sendgrid.net",
    :port => '587',
    :domain => "heroku.com",
    :user_name => "[email protected]",
    :password => "asdfasdfasdf",
    :authentication => :plain,
    :enable_starttls_auto => true
}

app/mailers/user_mailer.rb:

class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
    include SendGrid

    def registration_confirmation(user)
        @user = user
        mail(:to => user.email, :subject => "Registered", :from => "[email protected]")
    end
end

app/views/user_mailer/registration_confirmation.html.haml:

Confirm your email address please!

= accept_invitation_users_url(email_token: @user.email_token)

console:

Sent mail to [email protected] (656ms)

Put this before your smtp settings:

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

Add ".deliver" at the end where you are calling the email method i.e.:

UserMailer.welcome_email(@user).deliver

It will raise exception that will help you to find the failure cause.

If you are using background job to send email, You can put this snippet in exception block and use ExceptionNotification gem to send email with details which will help you to catch and find the reason of failure easily.

Add config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true to production.rb or development.rb and restart your app to make the changes working

you can try setting:

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true to see if it raises any error on delivery. Otherwise try using other email or check it in you junk folder

Or try this in development mode to check if there is any issues there(it seems fine as you can see the confirmation in the console)
