one does not send any email directly as the result of a browser interaction, but rather one notes that an email needs to be sent (queues a job request), and a demon or cron job (a queue processor) creates ands sends the mail.
----> So let's do this. How do we go about it? Scenario - users want to be alerted via email when a new job on a job board is posted. So we've a website that's a Catalyst app. At some point in the app, - when a new job post is being created - we note that emails need to be sent to everyone who wanted a head's up on this event. So what am I doing? Am I using Email::Stuffer to send via sendmail, which on my system appears to be handled by exim (which can be installed in place of sendmail)...? Or are you saying using Email::Stuffer doesn't queue a job request - it just sends instantly - in which case - how do you queue? Do I just write the source code for the email, and the mysql statement to get the user's emails, to a text file somewhere, in some directory, and let a Perl script running at set times via cron, read in the files, and process them later? Or should I be looking for certain CPAN mail queuing modules...?
