ar_mailer 1.1
drbrain |
ar_mailer allows you to queue ActionMailer emails in the database that will be sent with a separate process. ar_mailer gives drastic speed-ups when you need to send many emails.
To install ar_mailer: sudo gem install ar_mailer. You can also download ar_mailer from Rubyforge.
For instructions on how to convert from the regular delivery methods to using ar_mailer see the ar_mailer documentation.
ar_mailer-1.1.0 follows quick on the heels of ar_mailer 1.0. I’ve got several important features and bug fixes:
Features
- Added —chdir to set rails directory
- Added —environment to set RAILS_ENV
- Exits cleanly on TERM or INT signals
- Added FreeBSD rc.d script
- Exceptions during SMTP sending are now logged
- No longer waits if sending email took too long
Bugs fixed
- Fixed last send attempt in —mailq
- Better SMTP error handling
- Messages are removed from the queue on 5xx errors
- Added Net::SMTP.reset to avoid needing to recreate the connection
