ActionMailer not sending emails, pass value in model

Question

I'm using mailboxer to send email notifications and if I do this:

def mailboxer_email(object)
  return "me@gmail.com"
end

It works perfectly, but I'm trying to return the user's email and I tried this:

def mailboxer_email(object)
  return "#{User.email}"    
end

I get the error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `email' for #<Class:0x0000000402c138>):

when I tried this:

def mailboxer_email(object)
  return :email
end

the logs read

"sent mail to email"

I also tried

def mailboxer_email(object) 
  return object.email     
end

but gives me

NoMethodError (undefined method `email' for #<Message:0x000000039f0530>):

What does the "no success" for `return object.email` look like? — Brad Werth, Apr 16 '14 at 04:44
you are looking for user email and passing message as object ..is there email in message..? — neo-code, Apr 16 '14 at 04:48
yes, the messaging works flawlessly within the app - or wait you mean messages belonging to users? — franklinexpress, Apr 16 '14 at 04:48
if there is any assoication between user and message you can try object.user.email — neo-code, Apr 16 '14 at 04:50
in the message there is username, subject, and body of message, could I do something like `user = User.find_by_username...` then return user.email? — franklinexpress, Apr 16 '14 at 04:51
@Mayank that didn't work `NoMethodError (undefined method `user' for #):` — franklinexpress, Apr 16 '14 at 04:53
ok...than how you have designed your model is user name is in User model? — neo-code, Apr 16 '14 at 04:57

This method solved it, it was just passing email without " : "

def mailboxer_email(object)
  return email  # instead of return :email
end
