Cucumber + EmailSpec + Rails3: why does it say that no emails are sent when they really work?

Question

I use EmailSpec to check email with Cucumber. My tests fail and say that no email is sent, but I could not find something wrong with my code, so I tried it in production and sent emails .

Here's the failure:

# ...
And I should see "You have requested for a condition report, and will be emailed one as soon as we are able to process your request." # features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:107
And I should receive an email # features/step_definitions/email_steps.rb:51
  expected: 1,
       got: 0 (using ==) (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
  ./features/step_definitions/email_steps.rb:52:in `/^(?:I|they|"([^"]*?)") should receive (an|no|\d+) emails?$/'
  features/request_for_condition_reports.feature:18:in `And I should receive an email'
When I open the email                                                                                                                 # features/step_definitions/email_steps.rb:72
Then I should see "Ramon ([e-mail]) wants a condition report for" in the email body 

And here is the class that sends the email:

class ReportRequest < ActiveRecord::Base
  ...

  private

  def notify_admin
    Mailer.condition_report_request_to_admin(self).deliver
  end
end

What should I do to fix this test?

Thank!
