just wondering if any of you have come across this. I play with the Python API in the Google App Engine, and I created an application that takes the body of the message and address through POST, creates an object in the data store, then the cron job runs every minute, captures 200 objects and sends from email, and then removes entities.
I conducted an experiment with 1,500 emails, it had 1,500 objects created in the data warehouse, and 1,500 emails were sent. Then I look at my statistics and see that approx. Of the quota, 45,000 recipients were used, how is this possible?
So my question is, how long does the Email Recipients quotas really count? At the moment when I create a mail object or when I actually have send()it? I was hoping for the second, but quotas seem to show something else. I pass the mail object between crowns and tasks, etc. Anyone have any info on this?
Thank.
Update . It turns out that I really sent 45k emails with a queue of only 1,500. It seems that one cron job works until the previous one is complete and will not work with the same objects. Therefore, the question changes to "how to block objects and make sure that no one selects them before sending letters"?
Thanks again!
