Delayed e-mail sending

[Alan Harper]

Hi All,

I'm writing a feature at the moment to dealy e-mail sending (as in
"Don't send until tomorrow" etc)

I was thinking of hacking ar_mailer, but does anyone have any better
ideas?

Cheers,
Alan

How about a ScheduledEmail model, then a rake task to check the
scheduled emails every 5 mins and send any that need sending.

Maybe base something on:

I *think* you can defer by a time, if not I can't imagine it would be
hard to add

(or starling/activemessaging/etc...)

Perfect, is now doing exactly what I want. Yes a patch was needed (http://www.github.com/aussiegeek/delayed_job

ar_mailer does this also I think.
