I''m wondering if anyone here has worked on an app that involved sending lots of emails (1000+ emails per hour) from inside the rails app. Did you use sendmail, an smtp server or a specialized service? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''d suggest considering a service such as authsmtp.com. If you''re generating lots of emails, it is hard work to stay off the blacklists and keep your messages from being blocked as spam. I use sendmail for some low-volume mail sending but would use authsmtp or something similar if volume was higher.

Michael & Fred, Thanks for your feedback. I think the way I''ll do it is run sendmail until it starts hitting 100 emails per hour and then switch out to authsmtp.
