Ugh…that should be “require_dependency email_gatekeeper” without the .rb.

I’m up late…

Actually, no…I am a crazy person. The code in this post wasn’t working for me until I discovered that:

a) I needed to use perform_delivery_smtp and
b) if you create this file in your lib directory, you’ll probably need to add “require_dependency email_gatekeeper.rb” to the bottom of your environment.rb file.

Hey Bala, I had the same problem too, and after looking at the rails documentation, I discovered that :perform_delivery_sendmail doesn’t exist anymore.

I’m using rails 2.3, and I had to change it to:
alias_method_chain :delivery!, :gatekeeper

Then rename the method above as:
def deliver_with_gatekeeper!(mail = @mail)

Then at the end of the method, you’ll need to change it to this:
deliver_without_gatekeeper!(mail)

Basically, you’re just changing it to use deliver! instead of perform_delivery_sendmail.

If you’re using Rails 3.0, it’s possible that they’ve changed it to something else, so, just look in the ActionMailer documentation in the Rails docs for whatever looks to be the last stop before sending the email.

Hi,

I have created alias for perform_delivery_smtp and i have created gatekeeper method.

but its not working. how do we make it work. i feel that control itself not coming to gatekeeper method.because i am debugging gatekeeper method. not able to find any debugging statement.

Thanks & Regards,
Bala.
