I see there's an Email plugin and wondered if this is enough to

like a port of NMS CGI exists?

It's terribly easy to get this wrong so wanted some feedback from
people who'd previously implemented something like this live
before
inadvertently turning my site into a spam conduit :-)
I've got a related question - does anyone send bulk emails with
that
plugin? Is the delay reasonable when sending let's say a hundred
emails or do I need a background mechanism for that? I have now a
forking solution - but it is a bit complex (and for mod_perl they
recommend to do it in a 'cleanup' handler instead of a forked
process).
I've been dying to play with
http://search.cpan.org/~btrott/Email-Send-TheSchwartz-0.01/lib/
Email/Send/TheSchwartz.pm
I use this exactly to send email.
My worker gets the MX of the destination domain and sends the email
directly to the remote server. This allows me to react more quickly
to invalid email addresses (for those servers that check RCPT TO's).
This is interesting - but the documentation unfortunately does not
answer following questions:
- The worker looks like a polling daemon - how often does it poll the
database? Would it be feasible solution on an SQLite database (which
does not work very well with many concurrent connections).
5 seconds by default. You can override it in the call to work(). It's
documented btw.
- How should I run the worker process so that it does not die
unexpectedly? Should I put it into inittab or perhaps should I run it
in a pair of processes that would fork another one if one of them
dies?
Some people use daemontools, other initab, or ruinit.... There are
several systems to do that.
Alternatively you could just run from cron and use the work_once()
call, or the work_until_done(), more difficult to predict the load
though.
