+
+Bugs:
+
+http://adzap.lighthouseapp.com/projects/26997-ar_mailer
+
+== About
+
+Even delivering email to the local machine may take too long when you have to
+send hundreds of messages.  ar_mailer allows you to store messages into the
+database for later delivery by a separate process, ar_sendmail.
+
+== Installing ar_mailer (forked)
+
+Before installing you will need to make sure the original gem is uninstalled as they can't coexist:
+
+  $ sudo gem uninstall ar_mailer
+
+Install the gem from GitHub gems server:
+
+First, if you haven't already:
+
+  $ sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
+
+Then
+
+  $ sudo gem install dvdplm-ar_mailer
+
+For Rails >= 2.1, in your environment.rb:
+  
+  config.gem "dvdplm-ar_mailer", :lib => 'action_mailer/ar_mailer', :source => 'http://gems.github.com'
+
+For Rails 2.0, in an initializer file:
+
+  require 'action_mailer/ar_mailer'
+
+== Usage
+
+Go to your Rails project:
+
+  $ cd your_rails_project
+
+Create a new migration:
+
+  $ ar_sendmail --create-migration
+
+You'll need to redirect this into a file.  If you want a different name
+provide the --table-name option.
+
+Create a new model:
+
+  $ ar_sendmail --create-model
+
+You'll need to redirect this into a file.  If you want a different name
+provide the --table-name option.
+
+You'll need to be sure to set the From address for your emails.  Something
+like:
+
+  def list_send(recipient)
+    from 'no_reply@example.com'
+    # ...
+
+Edit config/environments/production.rb and set the delivery method:
+
+  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :activerecord
+
+Or if you need to, you can set each mailer class delivery method individually:
+
+  class MyMailer < ActionMailer::Base
+    self.delivery_method = :activerecord
+  end
+
+This can be useful when using plugins like ExceptionNotification. Where it
+might be foolish to tie the sending of the email alert to the database when the 
+database might be causing the exception being raised. In this instance you could
+override ExceptionNofitier delivery method to be smtp or set the other 
+mailer classes to use ARMailer explicitly.
+
+Then to run it:
+
+  $ ar_sendmail
+
+You can also run it from cron with -o, or as a daemon with -d.
+
+See <tt>ar_sendmail -h</tt> for full details.
+
+=== Alternate Mail Storage
+
+If you want to set the ActiveRecord model that emails will be stored in,
+see ActionMailer::Base.email_class=
+
+=== A Word on TLS
+
+If you are using Ruby >= 1.8.7, TLS will be enabled automatically if your
+SMTP server supports it. If you do not want it to automatically enabled then
+set the :tls option to false in your smtp_settings.
+
+If you are on Ruby <= 1.8.6, then the TLS patch included in this plugin will
+be loaded, so you don't need another TLS plugin to add the capability. This 
+patch allows you to explicit set if the server supports TLS by setting the
+:tls option to true in your smtp_settings.
+
+=== Help
+
+See ar_sendmail -h for options to ar_sendmail.
+
+NOTE: You may need to delete an smtp_tls.rb file if you have one lying
+around.  ar_mailer supplies it own.
+
+== Run as a service (init.d/rc.d scripts)
+
+For Linux both script and demo config files are in share/linux. 
+See ar_sendmail.conf for setting up your config. Copy the ar_sendmail file 
+to /etc/init.d/ and make it executable. Then for Debian based distros run
+'sudo update-rc.d ar_sendmail defaults' and it should work. Make sure you have 
+the config file /etc/ar_sendmail.conf in place before starting.
+
+For FreeBSD or NetBSD script is share/bsd/ar_sendmail. This is old and does not
+support the config file unless someone wants to submit a patch.
