I hadn't seen this one before. Since Zope is getting a Membership component, I think we'll need a good, solid way to send great big bunches of email to Members. I'm not sure if you've thought about this aspect or not. I believe it is a different function with different requirements then what you have in providing people with email.
I only chucked the Wiki up last night to try and structure some thoughts I had about mailing into Zope. They're only ideas and I have no idea how to implement them... I think plain mailhosts will do the sending thing quite well, they handle mail sending using an external mail server :-) I was mainly interested in getting info. into Zope through email.
I think it may also be nice to provide the ability to delegate the mail sending from a different machine than the Zope web server... Whatever the mail sending architecture is, it needs to be able to send messages to hundreds of thousands of users without bogging down people coming to the site. That's a tall order...
Not really, ZEO would solve this problem no matter what the architecture... Please chuck your thoughts/comments in the Wiki though, I'd love to see this go somewhere :-) cheers, Chris
