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
       new ( )
           Constructor.  Creates new instance of Sympa::Spool::Outgoing.

       next ( [ no_filter => 1 ] )
           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.

       quarantine ( $handle )
           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.

       remove ( $handle )
           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.

       store ( $message, $rcpt, [ original => $original ], [ tag => $tag ] )
           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).

           original => $original
               If the message was decrypted, stores original encrypted form.

           tag => $tag
               TBD.

           Returns:

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

       too_much_remaining_packets ( )
           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.

       queuebulk
           Directory path of outgoing spool.

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

       umask
           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.
