I'm going to briefly discuss the approach, and leave implementation up to you.
- Send all your emails to a queue
* Include a job or batch number thats the same for everything in this batch
- Have the queue process the information
* Use a message queue, a worker, or some other asynchronous processing
mechanism
* This means the user / viewer is not blocked
- Poll at a desired rate from the UI
* Use Javascript to poll a status URL with the batch number
* Something like /emails/status/batch123
- Status action
* Check sent versus total, for a batch number
* ->find('count', array('conditions' => array('sent' => true, 'batch_id' =>
$batchid)))
* ->find('count', array('conditions' => array('batch_id' => $batchid)))
