Paul,
Sure, but I'd also send "high priority" and "low priority" emails through separate systems (sendmail/postfix/whatever instances.)
Well, what's to stop me from using the same database table for high priority and low priority, but having the high priority background process continuously loop to check for new items in the queue?
Even if I have the webs send out high priority directly, like you said, that could cause some damage.
Perhaps I could create a centralized relay server that the webs use for high priority, and have the webs send out high priority mail. But at that point, I unfortunately have to duplicate the high priority mail code =(
