Using mail_form gem and Sendgrid - having an issue

I'm trying to test sending an email from the page, but I'm not receiving any emails in my inbox. While in the rails console, it looks like the email is sent correctly. I'm just not getting it. I believe I have all the necessary code. I'm following this tutorial as I'm working on my personal web portfolio and I'm making a contact form that will email me directly from the page. Here's the link to the tutorial just in case it's needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIoORYeBdhs

I will post my code here as well. I'll try to get the necessary files in.

new.html.erb:

<h1 class="page_title">Say hello!</h1>

  <div class="skinny_wrapper wrapper_padding">
    <%= form_for @contact do |f| %>
      <%= f.label :name %><br>
      <%= f.text_field :name, required: true %>

      <br>

      <%= f.label :email %><br>
      <%= f.text_field :email, required: true %>

      <br>

      <%= f.label :message %><br>
      <%= f.text_area :message, as: :text %>

      <div class="hidden">
        <%= f.label :nicname %><br>
        <%= f.text_field :nickname, hint: 'Leave this field blank' %>
      </div>

      <%= f.submit 'Send Message', class: "button" %>

    <% end %>
  </div>

Contacts controller:

class ContactsController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @contact = Contact.new
  end

  def create
    @contact = Contact.new{params[:contact]}
    @contact.request = request
    if @contact.deliver
      flash.now[:error] = nil
    else
      flash.now[:error] = 'Cannot send message.'
      render :new
    end
  end
end

Contact Model (not generated)

class Contact < MailForm::Base
  attribute :name,      :validate => true
  attribute :email,     :validate => /\A([\w\.%\+\-]+)@([\w\-]+\.)+([\w]{2,})\z/i
  attribute :file,      :attachment => true

  attribute :message
  attribute :nickname,  :captcha  => true

  def headers
    {
      :subject => "Contact Form",
      :to => "kwilliamson0232@gmail.com",
      :from => %("#{name}" <#{email}>)
    }
  end
end 

And just in case, the production.rb file:

Rails.application.configure do
  # Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb.

  # Code is not reloaded between requests.
  config.cache_classes = true

  }
end

Thank you in advance.

I was experiencing something similar after following a mail_form tutorial. In my case, the email wasn't being sent through due to DMARC and spam prevention practices from Sendgrid (and settings I setup to help thwart spammers). So, this is actually good behavior but I still want the email to be sent.

I solved this by changing this :from => %("#{name}" <#{email}>) to :from => "email@myallowedemailingdomain". I then added an interpolation to the subject line to give a little clarity on who the email is from before opening it.

For example, :subject => "Contact Form #{name}".

So, about three steps:

1) Setup an email address to send yourself emails from your domain (contactmailbot@mydomain.com)
2) Change :from => %("#{name}" <#{email}>) to :from => "contactmailbot@mydomain.com"
3) Optional: add string interpolation to your subject header portion for more info (:subject => "Contact Form #{name} | My Website").

Hope this helps.
