I am really not interested in getting error mails for crap like people
scanning to see if I have some outdated version of phpmyadmin,
roundcube, etc... the typical stuff hackers are will look for.
So within my application controller before it sends me an e-mail, I want
to search to see if it's a valid 'controller' that's being requested
before it actually sends me an error e-mail.
Thus I need something like...
if [ LIST_OF_MY_CONTROLLERS ].include?(params[:action])

how do I get a list of my controllers?

I don't know of a good way to list of all your app's controllers (you
*could* search for all Constants that descend from
ApplicationController, but that seems prettttty grody). I'm *assuming*
the emails are being sent from a rescue_from or somesuch similar in your
ApplicationController... would it work for your requirements to instead
just create a catchall route and then send a 404 error/page?

well I am certainly trying to deal with a 'rescue_from'.
In essence, all the various crap that people scan web servers in hopes
of finding exploitable software for are generating 404 errors...that's
to be expected.
I just don't want to see an e-mail if the URL's they are requesting
aren't a controller in my application.
Obviously I can provide a defined list of my controllers to this but
that is rather analog and rails should be able to give me a list of my
controllers or an array that I can flatten.
