What behaviour do you expect? The mail to be delayed or registration to succeed nevertheless and auto activating the user?

@franzliedke are we going to introduce queues or scheduled tasks in core?

[lubobill1990]

@luceos I except to catch the exception and log the exception to notify the administrator.
I think the activation mail sending failure is not so significant to prevent the register process.
Especially in my scenario, I'm developing mobile app with flarum as the backend, email is not sufficient to register an user.

I'm looking forward to have official queue or scheduled tasks in core. Currently, I'm using a queue extension https://github.com/ZhiShiQ/FlarumQueue developed by myself based on illuminate/queue.

yes #978

[askvortsov1]

Considering all the mail verification and testing features, and that #978 should essentially fix this, should we close this in favor of #978?

Yes, thanks
