An outbound mail queue seems like a "solved problem", i.e. every piece of mail server software already does this. Adding your own queue before passing it off to your ISP's SMTP seems like a waste of effort on your part, and will lead to delays whenever you need to send more than 250 mails/hour. I think a better solution might be to run your own SMTP server. Sendmail is torturous (I maintained the sendmail installation for a former employer, so I know only too well), but it's not the only choice. Both qmail and postfix have good reputations as sendmail replacements. Take a look at qmail. -- // jack // http://www.nuthole.com _______________________________________________ Backgroundrb-devel mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/backgroundrb-devel
