If you're really serious in delivering email for business purposes
I would in general avoid trying to do any mass mailings yourself
and use a professional email delivery firm. Everybody hates spam
and mail admins have gotten more strict with who they will allow
mail to be received from, using blacklists, whitelists, reverse-DNS
lookups like SPF, etc. that if you really need to make sure your
email is delivered use a firm. Some firms have "most-favored
nation status" with large ISPs like AOL, etc. so they know if the
sender is this firm they partner with they will give it a higher
degree of trust because they have relationships in place to make
sure they won't send junk to AOL. If you write a program that just
starts spewing out emails through an SMTP server your Inbox arrival
percentage will not be as high over time.

Hey all,
I'm curious about the current state of mass emailing in Rails. I'm
about to start work on a site for a company that wants to be able
to send marketing emails to its members every now and then and I
haven't done a whole lot of work with ActionMailer. I recall seeing
some interesting software and techniques for this sort of thing
mentioned here in the past but can't seem to dig up those emails.
I'd love to hear about experiences you guys have had sending out
large batches of emails in Rails, as well as any links to articles
or plugins you might know of.
