I got more when I generated the mailer than in the video

When I ran rails g mailer notifier I got a lot more than in the video. Here is the output:

      create  app/mailers/notifier.rb
      create  app/mailers/application_mailer.rb
      invoke  erb
      create    app/views/notifier
      create    app/views/layouts/mailer.text.erb
      create    app/views/layouts/mailer.html.erb
      invoke  rspec
      create    spec/mailers/notifier_spec.rb

It created application_mailer.rb which is where the default from address is:

class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default from: "from@example.com"
  layout 'mailer'
end

Is this because of an updated version of Rails? Is this where I'm supposed to put default_url_options[:host]="localhost:3000"?

yes that is where you put it, and honestly I would say it is probably best of an update. I am going through this video now as well. I will let you know if there is anything else complication.
