Hi

this module could be well used in conjunction with Elysia Cron which let a user set fine-grained cron task distribution.

It's not that hard to provide the support for this module. See here for instructions.

Thanks

Actually, we don't use hook_cron to send the emails, we use the Drupal queue API, so we already support Elysia cron, or rather Elysia cron supports us. So actually you should find that we're being added to Elysia cron's possible jobs automatically.

Well, I hate to counter this but this is not the case...
On a clean Drupal 7 install with Elysia Cron and Queue Mail these are the cron jobs listed by Elysia cron:

  • dblog_cron (Remove expired log messages and flood control events)
  • field_cron (Purges some deleted Field API data, if any exists)
  • node_cron (History table cleanup)
  • search_cron (Update search database index)
  • system_cron (Remove older rows from flood and batch table. Remove old temporary files.)
  • update_cron (Checks for available updates of Drupal core, contributed modules and themes)

There's no separate mail queue job...

Right, you need the dev version of Elysia cron sorry, then it'll work.

Thanks, that does the trick.

Just for reference: I also stumbled upon Ultimate Cron which also supports queues out of the box.
