For each event created, it would be given a downcased name e.g. robinsbirthday. Emails sent to robinsbirthday@mydomain.com would be routed into the application and then I strip out the part before the @ sign and find the relevant event e.g. Event.find_by_downcased_name Robin Hi Faisal,

I had a question; you mentioned that for every user that signs up on your website, you automatically create an anonymous email like 12345@mydomain.com. How do do this? If you could share code/guidelines for doing this, that would be awesome as I am relatively new to rails. Thank you, Faisal Hi,

My preferred method is to pass this off to an external service. I'm currently using Amazon Simple Email Service but I hear good things about <a href="http://postmarkapp.com/" rel="nofollow">Postmark</a>. Hi Tripp,

I have doubt understanding the differences in usage as I am using a Windows based Development PC.. Where should I make the changes which you made in -main.cf file? -@mydomain.com rails_mailer -/etc/postfix/aliases [Also is there a Postfix installation for Windows or I need to use some different Mail Handler??] I am yet to incorporate the above solution in my Rails App, but this solution is exactly what my App was lacking intending to do..

Where should I make the changes which you made in
-main.cf file?
-@mydomain.com rails_mailer
-/etc/postfix/aliases

[Also is there a Postfix installation for Windows or I need to use some different Mail Handler??]

I am yet to incorporate the above solution in my Rails App, but this solution is exactly what my App was lacking intending to do..

Thanks,
