Hello,
You lot are all experts at Catalyst and Perl,
and because I'm using Perl to code a Catalyst program, I wanted to ask you
about a problem I've encountered.
The Catalyst app I'm coding is to replace a PHP website, which presently allows
an admin to manage sending out an email to all
Hi Andrew,
You lot are all experts at Catalyst and Perl,
I am no expert in Catalyst or Perl, but I have learned a thing or two
about email in my career.
I have found the best way for people to send butt-loads of emails to
members is to use mailing list software. This generally involves
A queue in Perl is better when there is a need of sending thousand messages.
Without a queue, if the Catalyst-based code just sends the messages directly
and a browser is waiting for a page to load after the web app sent them, it may
time-out. But otherwise it should work and not crash the web
Maybe not the answer you're looking for but I'd go with an email service
such as sendgrid which takes most if not all of the pain out of sending
emails. They have a simple REST API you can POST your email to and provides
callbacks for delivery notifications etc as well...
I'm not advocating
