mataki / mandrill_dm

A basic Mandrill delivery method for Rails.

#Mandrill DM

Use Mandrill DM to use ActionMailer with the Mandrill API. Perfect for transitioning from Mandrill's SMTP service to their API.

Rails Setup

First, add the gem to your Gemfile and run the bundle command to install it.

gem 'mandrill_dm'

Second, set the delivery method in config/environments/production.rb.

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :mandrill

Third, create an initializer such as config/initializers/mandrill.rb and paste in the following code:

MandrillDm.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV['MANDRILL_APIKEY']
end

NOTE: If you don't already have an environment varaiable for your Mandrill API key, don't forget to create one.

This gem was inspired by the letter_opener and mandrill-delivery-handler gems. Special thanks to the folks at MailChimp and Mandrill for their Starter service and Ruby API.
