Ruby on Rails, Send a copy of all outgoing emails

Question

I would like to save a copy of every email sent from RoR. Is there a way ask ActionMailer to send a copy of every email send to a specific address (possibly ass bcc)

Background: I have been doing this using Mandrillapp automatically using "send a copy of every email to this address" from their settings page. I am now moving from Mandrill to Amazon SES and would like to continue using a similar functionality.

You can use an observer:

class EmailDeliveryObserver
  def self.delivered_email(message)
    EmailDelivery.log(message)
  end
end

Rails.application.configure do
  config.action_mailer.observers = %w[EmailDeliveryObserver]
end
