Rails - May 2009 - UserMailer return boolean value

Is it possible to make is UserMailer returns a boolean value depending
on whether an email was sent or not?  I have a method to send maybe I
could put it in here somehow?

def send_initial
    UserMailer.deliver_initial(self)
end

Hey David

The only thing I can think of here would be to set action mailer to
raise delivery errors in your development and production environments:
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

and then add something like the following to the method that sends the
mail:

  def my_mail_sending_method
    begin
      Mailer.deliver_my_email
    rescue
      return false # => returns false if any exceptions are raised
    end
    return true # => returns true if no exceptions are raised
  end


There might be a better answer out there though? :s
