Django app for sending queued emails using cron

django-emailqueue

Description

A very simple email queueing module that can be used to send mails using cron. The sent e-mails are marked as deleted for future reference. The module now searches every app for cron.py and executes the emailqueue callable inside it.

Example appname/cron.py

from django_emailqueue.models import EmailQueue
def emailqueue():
    reminder = get_reminders()
    email_queue = EmailQueue(mail_to=reminder.user.email,
                             mail_subject="Noitification",
                             mail_body=render_to_string(
                                'accounts/reminder.txt',
                                {'body': reminder.body}
                            ))
    email_queue.save()
