Send Mail async

[abbasidaniyal]

Make the send_mail in users.utils and send_query in content.views as asynchronous functions

How about using the Node Gmailer functions I wrote to run a small mailserver?
Maybe it could be expanded later to do more things

[zrthxn]

That library has support for templated emails, bulk emails and can be run as a multi-threaded operation for large loads.
(Not to mention that its async)

We can send mass mails with django as well but that is not really required. Integrating hybrid services will require more time and can create discrepancies.

Yea, I suggested that because that'll allow you to receive emails on the server as well.

But anyway, maybe if you can write a function to spawn a child process to send emails with Dj that'll make the thing async.
Or if you keep running the process in the background, it'll basically function as a mailserver on a small scale.

Django 3 has asynchronous support

Threads are not reliable. Will use celery with redis
