Hi,

Sending notifications to various people when a new comment is posted  
takes  
a lot of time if done during the run time. I want to store all the  
information in database and then send out email using a background  
process.  
Although developing something that accomplishes such a task is not too  
difficult I was wondering if there is a better solution out there.

Thanks.
