How to send an email with rails

Question

This is probably very straightforward and simple, but I am very new and noob on rubies on rails. I have a simple mail php script that I used on an older website, but now that I have switched to rails, I am not sure how to create the equivalent of this.

I tried using rails generate mailer Notifier , and then inside this I added a welcome method that was sent and emailed. However, in the user controller (when creating so that when the user makes an account, their email address is sent by greeting message), I just received an error message that was not announced by Notifier.

In the user controller I had

 if @user.save Notifier.welcome(@user).deliver end 

it did not work
