<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">one does not send any email directly as the
result of a browser interaction,</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">but rather one notes that an email needs to be
sent (queues a job request),</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">and a demon or cron job (a queue processor)
creates ands sends the mail.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----> So let's do this. How do we go about
it?</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Scenario - users want to be alerted via email
when a new job on a job board is posted.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">So we've a website that's a Catalyst app.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">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.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">So what am I doing?</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">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?</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Or should I be looking for certain CPAN
mail queuing modules...?</DIV>
