Why sendmail setting is not sending mail in ruby on rails 3

Question

I am trying to send mail using sendmail settings but i am not receiving the mail I can see the mail sent in development log.

config/application.rb

    config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail
    config.action_mailer.sendmail_settings = {
      :location => '/usr/sbin/sendmail',
      :arguments => '-i -t'
   }
   config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
   config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

mailers/Notifier.rb

class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
   default :from => "deepika@xxx.com"
   def welcome_email
     mail(:to => "deepika@xxx.com",   :subject => "Welcome to My Site test mail")
   end 
end

And i am calling Notifier.welcome_email.deliver from index method.

I can see log

Sent mail to deepika@xxx.com (339ms)

Can you please tell me what is the reason behind not receiving mail.

Can you change your setting to gmail and check if it works or not???But i think for this gmail should be allow by your proxy but still you can check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5026098/sending-email-from-gmail-rails-3 — Salil, Apr 10 '13 at 10:35
Also refer http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#example-action-mailer-configuration — Salil, Apr 10 '13 at 10:38
@Salil, I don't want smtp setting. To setup gmail, i'll have to configure smtp instead of sendmail. — Deepika, Apr 10 '13 at 10:41
@Deepika am getting same error what you asked, did you solve this. — God, Nov 18 '13 at 13:03
