One quite annoying thing, is that rails seems to send mails twice when using sendmail on Debian 5.
To fix that, add to config/environments/production.rb
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail
config.action_mailer.sendmail_settings = {
:location => '/usr/sbin/sendmail',
:arguments => "-i"
}
Notice that arguments is only “-i”, default it is “-i -t” which makes sendmail sending again somehow
