class Mail::Exim - mail-2.5.4 Documentation

# class Mail::Exim

A delivery method implementation which sends via exim.

To use this, first find out where the exim binary is on your computer, if you are on a mac or unix box, it is usually in /usr/sbin/exim, this will be your exim location.

    Mail.defaults do
      delivery_method :exim
    end

Or if your exim binary is not at '/usr/sbin/exim'

    Mail.defaults do
      delivery_method :exim, :location => '/absolute/path/to/your/exim'
    end

Then just deliver the email as normal:

    Mail.deliver do
      to 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net'
      from 'ada@test.lindsaar.net'
      subject 'testing exim'
      body 'testing exim'
    end

Or by calling deliver on a Mail message

    mail = Mail.new do
      to 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net'
      from 'ada@test.lindsaar.net'
      subject 'testing exim'
      body 'testing exim'
    end

    mail.deliver!
