DelayedJobMailer
==============

This plugin provides a module which - when included into an ActionMailer subclass - pushes all emails that would 
normally be delivered synchronously into a queue for asynchronous processing. For queuing it relies on the delayed_job 
plugin (http://github.com/tobi/delayed_job).

How it works
============

The plugin provides a module Delayed::Mailer. To make a mailer use a queue simply include it into the class like this:

class MyMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  include Delayed::Mailer
end

From now on all MyMailer.deliver_whatever_email calls create an entry delayed_job queue.
If you still want to deliver mail sycnhronously add a bang to the method call: MyMailer.deliver_whatever_email!

To set asynchronous mailing as project default, you need to create an initializer file as follows:

# config/initializers/delayed_mailer.rb
class ActionMailer::Base
  include Delayed::Mailer
end

Installation
============

script/plugin install git://github.com/andersondias/workling_mailer.git

Configuration
=============

Delayed e-mails is an awesome thing in production environments, but for e-mail specs/tests in testing environments it can be a mess causing specs/tests to fail because the e-mail haven't been sent directly. Therefore you can configure what environments that should be excluded like so:

# config/initializers/delayed_mailer.rb

Delayed::Mailer.excluded_environments = [:test, :cucumber]  # etc.

...
