I had it in there to clean up the format a bit when storing in the db, that’s it.

What’s the purpose of clean_field? I started getting errors from it so I took it out. I see that it’s replacing a new line with a space, do databases have a hard time storing new lines?

I actually wrote a quick blog post a while ago about how you could do this in rails. http://steve.dynedge.co.uk/2010/11/29/receiving-test-driven-incoming-email-for-rails-3/

One strategy to test the controller code would be to write a test to mimic the post being done by sendgrid. It wouldn’t test all the mx record magic, but would make sure your controller code was functioning correctly.

This is super helpful. Does anyone know of any ways to test this in development? The only way I’m able to test this is to deploy on heroku and then send a mail to the address that receives, it works for now, but it’s not sustainable…

Hey Doug, Thank you for explaining how you configured the godaddy mx record info. This was a bit tricky to understand at first.

CloudMailin is also a great solution to this problem, I’ve tried it out and it works very well. I should have mentioned that in my response, thanks Steve.
