Hello,

It seems sending mails in rails take times to finish. Does anyone know  
how to make faster by using thread or any another ways other than  
this…?

Thanks  
Chamnap

If you search the list archives you’ll find lots of ways… the most  
common involve not actually sending the email right away, but putting it  
into a table and having another process (via cron perhaps) go through  
and  
send whatever is in there…

Or you could pass the message off to backgroundrb and let it do it…

google for more…
