method

receive

rails latest stable - Class: ActionMailer::Base

receive(raw_mail)

public

Receives a raw email, parses it into an email object, decodes it, instantiates a new mailer, and passes the email object to the mailer object’s receive method.

If you want your mailer to be able to process incoming messages, you’ll need to implement a receive method that accepts the raw email string as a parameter:

class MyMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def receive(mail)
    # ...
  end
end

# File actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/base.rb, line 567
      def receive(raw_mail)
        ActiveSupport::Deprecation.warn(<<~MESSAGE.squish)
          ActionMailer::Base.receive is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 6.1.
          Use Action Mailbox to process inbound email.
        MESSAGE

        ActiveSupport::Notifications.instrument("receive.action_mailer") do |payload|
          mail = Mail.new(raw_mail)
          set_payload_for_mail(payload, mail)
          new.receive(mail)
        end
      end

receive
