Resque::SMTP

This gem allows you to do the mail delivery inside a Resque job.

What's the difference with other gems that send the email in Resque jobs?

The other gems aim to render and deliver the mail inside the job. Resque::SMTP only handles the deliver, this allows you to have workers that don't have all your dependencies (eg. Rails mailers), but can be retried if your mail provider fails.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'resque-smtp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install resque-smtp

1. Configure wich mails you want to use resque-smtp. This can be done to all your emails with in your application.rb (or in a per environment basis)

   config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :resque_smtp

2. The default Resque queue name is: mailing, this can be changed with:

   config.action_mailer.resque_smtp_settings = { queue: "default" }

3. Done!

resque-smtp will use the action_mailer.smtp_settings to send the mails in the queue.

1. Configure your smtp settings in Resque::SMTP.smtp_settings eg.

   Resque::SMTP.smtp_settings = { :address              => "smtp.me.com",
                                  :port                 => 587,
                                  :domain               => 'your.host.name',
                                  :user_name            => '<username>',
                                  :password             => '<password>',
                                  :authentication       => 'plain',
                                  :enable_starttls_auto => true  }

2. Configure Mail defaults to use Resque::SMTP (the queue parameter is optional, it defaults to "mailing") eg.

   Mail.defaults do
     delivery_method Resque::SMTP::DeliveryMethod, queue: "default"
   end

3. Done!
