I think plain mailhosts will do the sending thing quite well, they handle mail sending using an external mail server :-)
True, they do use an external server. But can they handle a really large volume of mail? I seem to remember getting an error just sending about 35 messages a month ago, but I could have something misconfigured...
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...
You're right about that. ZEO is probably a good way to do this delegation...
Please chuck your thoughts/comments in the Wiki though, I'd love to see this go somewhere :-)
Will do... Maybe I'm raising a non-issue, if mailhosts can handle the load and ZEO will deal with the delegation... Kevin
