Rails, Advanced Email Processing

Rails
1

Hi, we got a project with extensive requirements to trigger events
based on incoming emails on a rails platform. We need to reach each
incoming email, parse it and trigger logic based on it. Has anyone
ever worked on such a system?

  1. Do you know any books / resources / etc which explicitly elaborate
    this topic?
  2. Any pointers to what within rails should we work with? Any
    suggestions

Action Mailer seems to be not designed for something v extensive.
Please advise

Hey. This isn’t a terrible thing to undertake but there’s not so much
information available. I wrote a couple of blog posts about the
subject of receiving
email(Receiving Incoming Email in Rails 3 – choosing the right approach | Steve @ DynamicEdge)
and testing
(Receiving Test Driven Incoming Email for Rails 3 | Steve @ DynamicEdge)
this. If you get things right you can split them over a couple of
different Mailers if you need to.

If you need any more info just shout.
