Action Mailer: All mail comes from MAILER DAEMON

Today I was trying to send mail from my Rails application through Action Mailer. This is quite simple, but I wanted to use a custom from-address. So, I create a setup_email method in my UserNotifier class that sets some defaults for every email sent out:
class UserNotifier < ActionMailer::Base
protected
def setup_email(user)
@recipients = "#{user.email}"
@from = "My Application <[email protected]>">
end
end
May you spotted the problem already, but I didn’t. All the mail sent came from “MAILER DAEMON”.
From: MAILER DAEMON
The problem was that @from didn’t contain a properly formated from-address. It is missing the closing >, and so my email server ignores it.
If you have this issue, double check the from address, and make sure it’s valid! Cheers.
