Why does this Rails mailer code fail to send emails?
Consider this code snippet: class NotificationMailer < ApplicationMailer def alert_email(user) mail(subject: 'Alert', to: user.email) end end Why might emails not be sent when calling NotificationMailer.alert_email(user).deliver_now?
AThe deliver_now method is deprecated and should be replaced with send_now.
BThe user.email is not accessible inside the mailer method.
CThe mail method is missing a 'from' address, so the email is rejected by the mail server.
DThe mailer class must inherit from ActionMailer::Base, not ApplicationMailer.
