I configured the mailbox in settings.py file for email settings and its working fine.

I was checking the askbot code for email alerts ( send_email_alerts) and how askbot email-alerts work.

But, I did not understand how -- the email-alert concept works!

I have doubts -

1. Posting the answer Submit-Button takes a lot of time in cases where - there are users subscribed/following that question via email.

   • Is this slow because on-submit, the email is not sent asynchronously? (should I use celery for background email sending?)

2. what is the purpose of that cron job? i.e send_email_alerts?

   • What does that cron job do? Should I configure that separately?

thanks.
