+module ActionMailbox
+ # The base class for all application mailboxes. Not intended to be inherited from directly. Inherit from
+ # `ApplicationMailbox` instead, as that's where the app-specific routing is configured. This routing
+ # is specified in the following ways:
+ #
+ # class ApplicationMailbox < ActionMailbox::Base
+ # # Any of the recipients of the mail (whether to, cc, bcc) are matched against the regexp.
+ # routing /^replies@/i => :replies
+ #
+ # # Any of the recipients of the mail (whether to, cc, bcc) needs to be an exact match for the string.
+ # routing "help@example.com" => :help
+ #
+ # # Any callable (proc, lambda, etc) object is passed the inbound_email record and is a match if true.
+ # routing ->(inbound_email) { inbound_email.mail.to.size > 2 } => :multiple_recipients
+ #
+ # # Any object responding to #match? is called with the inbound_email record as an argument. Match if true.
+ # routing CustomAddress.new => :custom
+ #
+ # # Any inbound_email that has not been already matched will be sent to the BackstopMailbox.
+ # routing :all => :backstop
+ # end
+ #
+ # Application mailboxes need to overwrite the `#process` method, which is invoked by the framework after
+ # callbacks have been run. The callbacks available are: `before_processing`, `after_processing`, and
+ # `around_processing`. The primary use case is ensure certain preconditions to processing are fulfilled
+ # using `before_processing` callbacks.
+ #
+ # If a precondition fails to be met, you can halt the processing using the `#bounced!` method,
+ # which will silently prevent any further processing, but not actually send out any bounce notice. You
+ # can also pair this behavior with the invocation of an Action Mailer class responsible for sending out
+ # an actual bounce email. This is done using the `#bounce_with` method, which takes the mail object returned
+ # by an Action Mailer method, like so:
+ #
+ # class ForwardsMailbox < ApplicationMailbox
+ # before_processing :ensure_sender_is_a_user
+ #
+ # private
+ # def ensure_sender_is_a_user
+ # unless User.exist?(email_address: mail.from)
+ # bounce_with UserRequiredMailer.missing(inbound_email)
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # During the processing of the inbound email, the status will be tracked. Before processing begins,
+ # the email will normally have the `pending` status. Once processing begins, just before callbacks
+ # and the `#process` method is called, the status is changed to `processing`. If processing is allowed to
+ # complete, the status is changed to `delivered`. If a bounce is triggered, then `bounced`. If an unhandled
+ # exception is bubbled up, then `failed`.
+ #
+ # Exceptions can be handled at the class level using the familiar `Rescuable` approach:
+ #
+ # class ForwardsMailbox < ApplicationMailbox
+ # rescue_from(ApplicationSpecificVerificationError) { bounced! }
+ # end
+ class Base
