I’m up late…

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.

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.

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.

Does this above line start an instance of your rails app for EVERY received bounce? Seems like it could quickly kill your server if you got a bunch of bounces quickly, like while sending out a mass mail. Maybe better to run it from a cron somehow, or am I missing something?

Thanks for posting this,

“To receive emails, you need to implement a public instance method called receive that takes a tmail object as its single parameter. The Action Mailer framework has a corresponding class method, which is also called receive, that accepts a raw, unprocessed email as a string, which it then turns into the tmail object and calls the receive instance method.”
