Rails - Jan 2006 - Graceful handling of temporary failure in name resolution when generating emails?

Hi,
I''m getting an infrequent "Socket Error (getaddrinfo: Temporary
failure in
name resolution)" when sending e-mail with ActionMailer. Most of the time,
mail works. But I noticed the error during testing and wondered what best
practices might be for handling this kind of error. My SMTP settings look
OK. I''m running RHEL 3 for my Rails app and use an external SMTP
server.

I guess I should do some kind of mail queue that lets the user go on his
merry way while retrying until the name resolves?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Bill
