NAME

Sympa::Spool::Outgoing - Spool for outgoing messages

SYNOPSIS

  use Sympa::Spool::Outgoing;
  my $bulk = Sympa::Spool::Outgoing->new;
  $bulk->store($message, ['user@dom.ain', 'user@other.dom.ain']);
  my ($message, $handle) = $bulk->next;

DESCRIPTION

Sympa::Spool::Outgoing implements the spool for outgoing messages.

Methods

Constructor. Creates new instance of Sympa::Spool::Outgoing.
Instance method. Gets next packet to process, order is controlled by message priority, then by packet priority, then by delivery date, then by reception date. Packets with future delivery date are ignored (if "no_filter" option is not set). Packet will be locked to prevent multiple processing of a single packet.

Parameters:

None.

Returns:

Two-elements list of Sympa::Message instance and filehandle locking a packet.

Instance method. Quarantines a packet. Packet will be moved into bad/ subdirectory of the spool.

Parameter:

$handle
Filehandle, Sympa::LockedFile instance, locking packet.

Returns:

True value if packet could be quarantined. Otherwise false value.

Instance method. Removes a packet. If the packet is the last one of bulk sending, corresponding message will also be removed from spool.

Parameter:

$handle
Filehandle, Sympa::LockedFile instance, locking packet.

Returns:

True value if packet could be removed. Otherwise false value.

Instance method. Stores the message into message spool. Recipients will be split into multiple packets and stored into packet spool.

Parameters:

$message
Message to be stored. Following attributes and metadata are referred:
{envelope_sender}
SMTP "MAIL FROM:" field.
{priority}
Message priority.
{packet_priority}
Packet priority, assigned as "sympa_packet_priority" parameter by each robot.
{date}
Unix time when the message would be delivered.
{time}
Unix time in floating point number when the message was stored.
$rcpt
Scalar, scalarref or arrayref, for SMTP "RCPT TO:" field(s).
If the message was decrypted, stores original encrypted form.
TBD.

Returns:

If storing succeeded, marshalled metadata (file name) of the message. Otherwise "undef".

Instance method. Returns true value if the number of remaining packets exceeds the value of the "bulk_fork_threshold" config parameter.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

Following site configuration parameters in sympa.conf will be referred.

Directory path of outgoing spool.

Note: Named such by historical reason. Don't confuse with "queueoutgoing" for archive spool (see Sympa::Spool::Archive).

The umask to make directory.

CAVEAT

Sympa::Spool::Outgoing is not a real subsclass of Sympa::Spool.

HISTORY

Bulk module initially written by Serge Aumont appeared on Sympa 6.0. It used database tables to store and fetch packets and messages.

Support for DKIM signing was added on Sympa 6.1.

Rewritten Sympa::Bulk appeared on Sympa 6.2, using spools based on filesystem. It was renamed to Sympa::Spool::Outgoing on Sympa 6.2.45b.3.
