Compare with:

self.receive(raw_email)

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 email object as a parameter:

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

Parameters

raw_email req

        new.receive(mail)
