[SOLVED] Rails Error Checking for Email Delivery

How should I wrap a deliver_now method call so we can catch errors if they occur while delivering?

@user = User.new(user_params)
if @user.valid?
  MyMailer.user_email(@user).deliver
  # hmmm....  how do we catch if the email is not sent?  
else
  ...
end

Make sure you have config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true set in your application config. Then you can catch exceptions with a rescue block. Something like this:

@user = User.new(user_params)
if @user.valid?
  begin
    MyMailer.user_email(@user).deliver
  rescue StandardError => e
    # do something with the messages in exception object e
    flash[:error] = 'Problems sending email'
  end
else
  ...
end
