      Pre-requisites

      1. Setup mailcatcher to keep tabs on the SMTP connections. Andrew Nicols has a branch with more logging (necessary in order to complete this test):
        1. sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
        2. cd to your friendly git folder
        3. git clone git@github.com:andrewnicols/mailcatcher.git
        4. cd mailcatcher
        5. git checkout connectionLogging
        6. sudo gem build mailcatcher.gemspec
        7. sudo gem install mailcatcher-0.6.0.gem
        8. mailcatcher -vf # (you will watch this window)
      2. Install failmail
        1. cd mod/ # in your moodle instance
        2. git clone git@github.com:xow/moodle-mod_failmail.git failmail
        3. Go to Home ► Site administration ► Notifications
        4. Follow the prompts to install failmail

      Test

      1. Go to Home ► Site administration ► Plugins ► Message outputs ► Email
      2. Set SMTP hosts to "127.0.0.1:1025"
      3. Set SMTP session limit to 10
      4. Make sure that your browser doesn't auto fill the SMTP username and password. If it does, just delete both. When did they become so over-zealous anyway?
      5. php admin/tool/task/cli/schedule_task.php --execute='\mod_failmail\task\cron_task'
      6. This will send 30 emails. Watch your mailcatcher screen, and check that a new connection is established every 10 emails.

    Description

      Previously the plugin cron was doing get_mailer('buffer'); and get_mailer('close'); - it is now only in lib/classes/task/legacy_plugin_cron_task.php

      The forum cron is in separate file mod/forum/classes/task/cron_task.php since 2.7.2 and it does not do it any more, this is a performance regression when $CFG->smtpmaxbulk > 1
