Question about ar_mailer

So I finally have mongrel running but I am yet to see how it performs when there is more load.

I wanted to ask a question regaring ar_mailer. So from what I know, all the emails are stored in a database and then i can schedule a cron to send them out. My website has emails for user activation, registration and invites etc. I would want the latency to be as low as possible. Is it fine if I run ar_mailer every 1 minute ?

Right now I am just using action_mailer and sometimes the mails just don't get delivered. Is there a way to check the mailq or something ? I can probably have the activation/registration mails sent out immediately and other mails sent out using ar_mailer.

Hello,

Please note that there is a restriction set on the server that restricts a domain from sending more than 250 e-mails within a hour. This could be a reason why some e-mails have failed to reach destination in the past. Keeping into consideration that this is a shared server, we have to set such a restriction for the stability in the server performance. So please do consider the  process of sending e-mails in batches that will match the server settings. Also we can check the e-mail queue from our end , but users do not have permission to check the same.

I am sure right now I am well within the 250 emails an hour limit and I will also keep a watch. However lately I am seeing that mails get delivered only after sometime. Initially it used to be with almost no delay. Is this some issue on the server. Nothing at my end has changed.

Hi Prateek,

You may need to get in touch with the Support Team with the "From" and "To" addresses you have issues with and they  would be able to check this out further.
