Receive mail in Ruby / Rails

Question

How can I get mail in a Ruby on Rails application without having to go through a mail server like PostFix, or get them via pop3, etc.

I needed to catch all the emails sent to @ mydomain.com and just do something with them in my application. I do not need to store mail or anything like that.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

I just implemented this for my SAAS to automatically notify me of mail failure messages.

Call me, call me?

If you are trying to avoid server polling, consider the IMAP IDLE command. I have successfully written a Ruby client that opens a connection to an IMAP server and receives a server message when new mail arrives.
