Greetings, Disclosure: I am a total newbie!
I am building an application Django and come to a dilemna when sending off emails. I have an application that sends off an email after a customer has filled out a form, actually it sends off 7 emails. The problem is the page hangs while the emails are sent. My current hosting situation does not give me direct access to an email queue. So I have two options (that I can think of): 1) Write the email information to a file and then run a cron job in the background that routinely checks the file and sends the necessary emails off OR 2) Spin-off a thread (which I have no background with at all!) for the emails and be able to redirect the user to the next page. I have posted this problem on the Django users group, but did not really get a usable response. If any of you have dealt with this or know of an actual solution, please help. Thank you! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
