Question

I have my Rails 3 set up w/ Devise but with a slight twist: I am storing all the users emails in a emails table and each user can have multiple emails. I am running into a problem w/ the forgot password feature. I know that I will have to override some method that Devise uses for looking for find a users email and then sending out the password reset but I don’t know where to start. Any advice you can provide me with is most appreciated.

See my answer to a similar question. You create a mailer overriding headers_for in Devise::Mailer to make it send to multiple emails:

def headers_for(action)
  #grab the emails somehow
  @emails = resource.emails.map{|email| email.column_name}
  if action == :reset_password_instructions
    headers = {
      :subject       => translate(devise_mapping, action),
      :from          => mailer_sender(devise_mapping),
      :to            => @emails,
      :template_path => template_paths
    }
  else
    # otherwise send to the default email--or you can choose just send to all of them regardless of action.
    headers = {
      :subject       => translate(devise_mapping, action),
      :from          => mailer_sender(devise_mapping),
      :to            => resource.default_email,
      :template_path => template_paths
    }
  end

  if resource.respond_to?(:headers_for)
    headers.merge!(resource.headers_for(action))
  end

  unless headers.key?(:reply_to)
    headers[:reply_to] = headers[:from]
  end
  headers
end
