Whenever I have signed up for a test account on my own site I have usually got my email confrimation email straight away .

Can't say I have noticed it being a big problem for me.

I use the email verify topbar plugin alongside email verification though so visitors can still see my site and use it for a few days before the site blocks them from exploring until verified.

I think the verification emails are sent right away, no cron job involved.

My verification emails are received almost instantly. That's why I said that.

Maybe your problem is in the server mail queue, if your server is sending a lot of emails, the emails stays in the email queue until are delivered as soon as possible (depending on your mail server settings).

ow_system_plugins/base/cron.php

Line: $this->addJob('mailQueueProcess', 5);

5 stands for every 5 minutes. 

I think you 2 guys have not SMTP enabled thats why fast delivery?

I have set the queue to 1 minut now and my "verification email" delivery time was go from 6-7 minutes to 1-2 minuts.

But i not happy with 1-2 minuts delivery time, many sites have delivery time under 60 seconds and i could never have that with cron involved , this only this email should send out immediately not with cron. 

The rest of the emails can bee in a 5 minuts queue for not overload the cpu at your host server. but this only this email should have lightning speed and this my opinion. waiting customers are never happy and you will loose some that not patient and that is not good

(ps: you guys and girls that change this setting to 1 minut could have bigger server load on the cpu if you have alot of emails sending out every minut have that in mind)

Maybe someone clould create a plugin that speed up ONLY the verification email and bypass this queue and cronjob that would bee nice! and very useful plugin for many here at oxwall

Hi OW-Ghost!

If you know how to edit PHP code, try this:

In the file "ow_core\mailer.php" Replace this:

public function send( BASE_CLASS_Mail $mail )    

{        

  if ( $this->maliService->getTransfer() == BOL_MailService::TRANSFER_SMTP )        

 {            

   $this->maliService->addToQueue($mail);       

 }        

 else

{           

    $this->maliService->send($mail);           

   }    

}    

With this:

public function send( BASE_CLASS_Mail $mail )

    {

            $this->maliService->send($mail);

        }

As you can see, if smtp is enabled, the mail is added to the queue. So we removed these lines so the verification emails are sent right away.

I don't know if making these changes you may have any kind of problem with your smtp server or why did it is added to the queue when smtp is enabled.

Hope it helps.

Wow nice help :-)

Yes i think this would send ALL emails right away when have smtp enabled?

I not sure to why they have made up this queue when use smtp?

The only answer i get from the TEAM is if i lower the queue time i could have higher server load if my site send out many emails at the same time?

Why that happens i can not explain? but they was told me this

I think you PHP code is awsome i need to test it :)

There is 2 ways to send mail, if you see the code inside skeleton plugin:

Method 1: Inmediatly

OW::getMailer()->send($mail);

Method 2: Add to queue

OW::getMailer()->addToQueue($mail);

The ones sent with method 1, are sent inmediatly if smtp is disabled, if smtp is enabled then are added into the queue, if you edit the code as I said in last post, verification emails are sent right away when smtp is enabled too.

The emails that are not priority use method 2, those emails are added into the queue always (smtp enabled and disabled). Almost all plugins use method 2 so your server doesn't overload.

Yes i think you solved it :)

Now everyone with SMTP enabled can have better delivery time when email verification is send out from they websites.

My new customers will bee very happy have they verification email delivered immediately not in a 5 minuts queue and i think you helped many here, nice work :)

What a boost to my website wth the code you gave me SD, i did just try it.

Now verification email have delivery time 10 seconds with SMTP enabled :-)

From 7 minuts to 10 seconds delivery with SMTP that is what i call a nice boost for oxwall and skadate :-)

I will do the final test with my IOS app and Android APP i not sure they use METHOD 1 for verification email?

(I did set back QUEUE time to 5 minuts because i think that is okey setting for the plugin that need use the QUEUE for send out emails.)

I confirmed that PHP code did working with my Android and IOS app. 

5-10 sec delivery =)

Thanks for the fix =)

Hi OW-Ghost!

You are welcome. Is good to know that is working. Please keep an eye on these emails in case something happens. Because I don't know why the email was added to the queue and in case something happens please let us know too.
