== About
Even delivering email to the local machine may take too long when you have to
send hundreds of messages. ar_mailer allows you to store messages into the
database for later delivery by a separate process, ar_sendmail.
-== Installing ar_mailer
+== Installing ar_mailer (forked)
-Just install the gem:
+Install the gem from GitHub gems server:
- $ sudo gem install ar_mailer
+First, if you haven't already
+ $ sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
+
+Then
+
+ $ sudo gem install adzap-ar_mailer
+
See ActionMailer::ARMailer for instructions on converting to ARMailer.
See ar_sendmail -h for options to ar_sendmail.
NOTE: You may need to delete an smtp_tls.rb file if you have one lying
around. ar_mailer supplies it own.
-=== ar_sendmail on FreeBSD or NetBSD
+=== init.d/rc.d scripts
-An rc.d script is included in share/ar_sendmail.
+For Linux both script and demo config files are in share/linux.
+See ar_sendmail.conf for setting up your config. Copy the ar_sendmail file
+to /etc/init.d/ and make it executable. Then for Debian based distros run
+'sudo update-rc.d ar_sendmail defaults' and it should work. Make sure you have
+the config file /etc/ar_sendmail.conf in place before starting.
+For FreeBSD or NetBSD script is share/bsd/ar_sendmail. This is old and does not
+support the config file unless someone wants to submit a patch.
