Rails 3 Overriding Devise Mailer

Question

I am working on an app that is tightly being integrated in with Mandrill (MailChimp's transactional email service) and I am trying to override the Devise Mailer but for some reason when I send off the API call to Mandrill I receive their email, but Devise also sends me an email (which is blank). Here is my `DeviseMailer` ``` class MyDeviseMailer < Devise::Mailer def reset_password_instructions(record) mandrill = Mandrill::API.new("#{MandrillConfig.api_key}") mandrill.messages 'send-template', { :template_name => 'Forgot Password', :template_content => "", :message => { :subject => "Forgot Password", :from_email => "test@test123.com", :from_name => "Company Support", :to => [ { :email => record.email } ], :global_merge_vars => [ { :name => "FIRST_NAME", :content => record.first_name }, { :name => "FORGOT_PASSWORD_URL", :content => "Change My Password" } ] } } #We need to call super because Dev…

Accepted Answer

I was running into a similar issue.

Did you update the devise initializer file (devise.rb) to specify the following:

```
config.mailer = "MyDeviseMailer"  
```

You also needed to move any and all files in views/devise/mailer to views/mydevisemailer.

I would also restart your server.
