Sending mail function in rails 2.3

Question

Current version I am using is: Ruby = 1.8.7, rails = 2.3.2

I wrote sending mails function. While I am running I got the below error"

undefined method `default' for UserMailer:Class

my UserMailer class:-

default :from => "example@gmail.com"

  def welcome_email(user)
    @user = params[:user]
    @url  = 'http://example.com/login'
    mail(:to => "test123@gmail.com", :subject => "Test")
  end
end

How to solve this issue?
Thank you.

undefined method `default' for UserMailer:Class

The method default as well as mail for the ActionMailer are not introduced in Rails 2.3, so you can't use them. The Rails 2.3 syntax for your code would look like below

def welcome_email(user)
  @user = params[:user]
  @url  = 'http://example.com/login'
  recipients    "test123@gmail.com"
  from          "example@gmail.com"
  subject       "Test"
  sent_on       Time.now
  body          {:user => @user, :url => @url}
end
