A number of sites I'm working on will optionally notify users of certain events via email. Think of the email you get from a social networking site when someone wants to add you as a friend. Or forum software that emails subscribers to a thread when there's been a new post. I also have the occasional need to send administrative email to all users on a site or announcements to those that have opted-in to receive them (although my own preference in that case is for there to be an Atom feed).
I was thinking of developing a django app for this with support for queuing and throttling of sends, scheduled sends, and logging of mail failures. I'm NOT interested at all in using it for unsolicited email (although unfortunately there's nothing in the design I have in mind that would prevent its use for that, I don't think) But I wanted to check first if anyone has developed something like this?
