I think it's best to add instructions on how to easily schedule the rake task to be called every 5 minutes or so. Relying on an Ajax call sending 20 pr. call sounds pretty vulnerable to me. > An other problem is that every time you send a mail, the controller > loop > through all the subscribers to create a new NewsletterEmail. > Does exist a way to do it better?

Clients seem to be pretty happy about knowing how many of the recpients has actually opened the newsletter, and how many of them clicks the links in it. It just a call to a controller returning a 1x1 transparent pixel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_beacons).
