joomla - JMail usage for cutsom component programming -

my code works when format html.

<pre>  public function partorder() {                $input=jfactory::getapplication()->input;     $mailer =jfactory::getmailer();     $config =jfactory::getconfig();     $mailer->setsender(array("email@email.com","name"));     $mailer->addrecipient("somerecipient@somerecipent.com");      $body="some html message";      $mailer->ishtml(true);         $mailer->encoding = 'base64';     $mailer->setbody($body);     $send =$mailer->send();     $respond="";     if ( $send !== true ) {      $respond= 'error sending email: ' . $send->message;     } else {         $respond= 'mail sent';     }      echo $respond;  }  </pre> 

when use same function on controller json format "mail sent" message. mail doesn't reach recipient;

i don't think there's wrong function.

however, noticed gmail quite picky when comes emails come trough inbox:

1. all global configuration > server > mail settings must filled in , valid.
2. these settings have used jmail configuration
