Rails 4 Mailer not sending email

I'm trying to send an email with Rails 4. The server raises no error but I cannot receive the mail in my mailbox... Here is my configuration :

environnements/development.rb

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.default_options = {from: 'no-reply@website.com'}

I'm sending the email like this :

user_mailer.rb

def deliver_password_reset_instructions(user)
  mail :to => user.email, :subject => 'Instructions pour la reinitialisation de votre mot de passe'
end

user.rb

def deliver_password_reset_instructions!
  reset_perishable_token!
  UserMailer.deliver_password_reset_instructions(self)
end

Does anybody have an idea about why it is not sending the email?

Your problem is that you're generating an email, but then not actually sending it.

UserMailer.deliver_password_reset_instructions(self).deliver

Will actually deliver the email you are creating.

Read over http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#walkthrough-to-generating-a-mailer (section 2.1.4 - Calling the Mailer) for more details about how to use mailers in your app.

Edit: deliver has been deprecated in Rails 4.2, in favour of either deliver_now or deliver_later. For the same behaviour as deliver from previous versions of Rails, you should use deliver_now - deliver_later is meant to be used with ActiveJob and a background job processor.
