How do I stop email from being delivered in the interceptor?

Rails
#1

Hi,

I am developing a rails 3 application.
I want to use a interceptor before delivering emails.
If a conditions meets, I want to stop the email.
How do I do that?

Thanks.

When you say ‘delivering’ emails do you mean ‘sending’?.
Is it the rails app that is sending the email?
If so how is it initiating the send.
Can you not just test the conditions before sending?

Have a look at the railscast for actionmailer in rails 3. The last part
of
the video is about intercepting
the emails so it gets sent to the address you specify in your config.

You can throw an exception in the interceptor.

Sam, did you get a solution with an interceptor? I tried returning
false but the email is still delivered.

@jaden_c, I tried the “perform_deliveries = false” in my interceptor but
the message still sends.

class CANSPAMInterceptor
def self.delivering_email(message)

......

message.perform_deliveries = false if message.to.size == 0

end
end

Is there something else I need to know?

I had the same problem, and stumbled upon this while reading the source
code:

class MailInterceptor
def self.delivering_email(email)
email.perform_deliveries= false
end
end
