lamson as a proxy to create daily/weekly digests

Hello all,

I have a webapplication that sends out notifications when a
contentitem was added/modified, a comment was added, etc.

This can ammount to a huge number of mails sent out to a contributor
of that portal.

I thought that using lamson as a proxy, i.e the webapplication sends
the mail to lamson
lamson then makes a (daily or weekly) digest, and sends out the digest
(triggered by a cron job),
would be a possible approach.

what do you think of this? Is lamson the right tool for this job?

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.

Uh yeah, I think it could do that.  You'd just have it listen on the
right port, store the emails and then generate the digest at specified
times.   For the digest I'd have a cron job that ran a little script
using lamson's stuff.
