Hi,
I have different kinds of mails going out. For eg:
1. signup 2. notification mails etc
I am using mailer queue to avoid mongrels waiting on email to be sent. However, it makes sense to have signup mails go instantaneously whereas other mails can go to mailer queue.
Has anyone done such thing? Any suggestions please?
Regards, SG
Use the spawn plugin.
Hi Mukund,
I dint look at spawning a thread, coz there we might be limited by number of threads that can be spawned at a time, which is system specific. Mails can easily hit that big a number.
I am happy with Mailer Queue plugin which queues all the mails and then in trigger cron job to periodically send those non-urgent mails.
But signup mails are time critical, so i was asking for suggestions to bypass MailerQueue to deliver these mails.
Regards, SG

I've enjoyed using ar_mailer and it's ar_sendmail daemon. You can set it to process your email queue every 30 seconds, or 60 seconds and avoid having the issue of a cron job load your application. You do need to monitor that the daemon remains running! (god, monit, .etc)
Is 30 or 60 seconds too long to wait?
Good Luck, Jim Cifarelli
I actually use Mail Queue, it provides an option to bypass Queue.So on Signup mails, i add "!" (exclamation) at the end.
Check if ar_mailer provides a similar option.

Hi Jim,
I tried using ar_mailer as per your suggestion, but facing issues. Can you please have a look at this and help me out:
Basically, emails are not getting stored into the DB.
