MailQ is a module that queues ALL mails originating from a Drupal site into a queue and then processes this queue and sends mails in batches during cron runs. However, it still uses drupal core or other modules like Mimemail to actually send the mails.

Update: A new release 6.x-2.0-alpha1 is now available. Download and try.

Add client-side dependency checking to Modules Administration page.

Small module that disables all caches while enabled.

Virtual Sites offers almost the same (and more) functionality as the Drupal multi-site feature without the need for the complicated setup of that feature. Depending on conditions (e.g. requested url or user role) handled by the Condition(s) module (bundled with Virtual Sites starting with the 7.x version), you can override theme, site information, menus and more to virtually present the visitor with a different website.

It is by no means limited to that, but one common example of where to use Virtual Sites is the mobile version of a site, intended to be viewed on mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. Using nothing else but Virtual Sites, you can set up all possible combinations of required functionality, like checking for:

• a mobile browser (using the Browser condition);
• a secondary hostname, eg. m.example.com (using the Hostname condition).

If any of the conditions above is met, you can:

• switch the theme to a mobile-friendly one (using the VS Themes module);
• even if the visitor used the regular URL, redirect them to the secondary hostname m.example.com (using the VS Common Settings module).

What it can do

Usecase: let's imagine you want to create some specific tools to allow your users reviewing some nodes (for instance a CCK-audio review, a CCK-text review, a complex-type-CCK review, ...). Let's also imagine you want them to review specific (ie, an admin can set that before) CCK-node types, then you've got it, it's basically what custom review is about.

Some vocabulary :

• the reviewer: the CCK-node type seen as a tool set by an admin to allow users reviewing specific other CCK-node-types
• the reviewee: the CCK-node type seen as the type one can review with a specific reviewer
• the review: an instance of reviewer (like an advanced comment if you want)
• the (node) reviewed: an instance of reviewee (the node the user has been reviewing)

It allows only one review by person and by reviewer type on each node. So it's neither
a tool to make comments nore supercomments, but real nodes associated in a specific way to an original one. These reviews are usually seen from the original reviewed node.

The Blog Reactions module monitors Technorati, Google Blogsearch, Yahoo! Bloglines and Blogato for reactions - trackbacks - on your posts. It displays a date and a short summary and links back to the original reaction on the web.
