Asynchronous Actionmailer in Rails

Question

I\'ve noticed some of my actions (on a development environment) take a little while to load up as an email they require an email notification (through Google\'s servers). D

I've just released a gem, Mailhopper, that queues email in your database for asynchronous sending plus optional archiving. A second gem, DelayedMailhopper, queues and sends these emails using DelayedJob.

I developed this approach to be more robust than DelayedJob alone, as explained here:
