Queueing framework solution

Question

I would like to address such a issue: I have a HTML form (like register form) which submission sends email. Now I send it as a part of page request. Obvious drawbacks:

• makes request longer
• sometimes smtp server is down, or timeouts and emails are not sent

When working with PHP I used a solution that based on queue - I had been putting an object/xml to queue host, and then some kind of client checked that queue. If queue task was sucessfully handled it removed task from queue. I wonder, is there a similar implementation on Windows / .NET platform ?

Thanks,Paweł

Answer 1

There is robust queuing offered by MSMQ which is easy to use in .NET. Accessing Message Queues might be a good place to start.
