[FX.php List] How do you handle failed transactional emails?

[jschwartz]

Hi Folks,

On an infrequent basis, a transactional email such as an order confirmation will fail to go through using PHPMailer when the smtp server doesn’t respond. Although it is infrequent, it does happened and the client freaks when it happens.

Does anyone employ any means to retry failed sends either in a few milliseconds while the script is still running, or at some later time by tracking failed sends and running a re-send script using a cron script or the like?

Thanks

Jonathan
