Can django.core.mail.send_mail still be used with post_office installed? about django-post_office

We can add an option called "DEFAULT_PRIORITY". User can then set this to "now" to mimic Django's synchronous send mail behavior.

Thanks. I've tried and the regular send_mail works, only it does not send the mail instantly so we have to run a cron job.

The DEFAULT_PRIORITY setting will be useful.

The reason I'd like to have the send_mail work is because that would allow using post_office without changing third party apps to get started easily.

Yeah, I think that's a valid reason. I won't have time to work on this in the next few days, but it would be great if someone can take a stab at writing a patch :). The config should look like this:

POST_OFFICE = {
    'DEFAULT_PRIORITY': 'now', # Also accepts "high", "medium" or "low"
    'BATCH_SIZE': 3000,
    # Other settings...
}

The DEFAULT_PRIORITY setting does not solve all the requirements of having to use django's send_mail. The default django.contrib.auth.views use the send_mail function and this breaks if the email backend is post_office. How does one work around this?

The idea is that you can set DEFAULT_PRIORITY to "now" in settings.py and it should behave pretty much like regular send_mail.
