Storing the mail in the database seems great when you use rake tasks or cron jobs, or even a background job to send emails.

@eric Thanks for the tip.

@andrew Nice plugin, I’ll take a look at it. Thanks.

I had similar needs but nobody should be able to share any data with any other subdomain. Check it out: http://github.com/penguincoder/acts_as_restricted_subdomain

There is a fork that has support for recognizing the entire domain, as well so you aren’t limited to just subdomains.

I use the plugin in a medical environment and it works great for keeping everything separate while allowing for a multi-homed application.

You’ll want to make http://www.subdomain.domain/ act the same as subdomain.domain, especially if you’re writing an application that will be used by the general public. A very large percent of the population think everything on the web has to start with “www.” even if you tell them otherwise. The press will do the same thing, no matter how much effort you put into giving them the correct URL.

So, save yourself from a lot of headache, and your users from a lot of confusion, by just making the two equivalent in your application.
