Rails: Start Resque Worker for Async Mail Delivery

QUEUE=mailers rake resque:work

Assuming you have properly configured Resque to work with ActiveJob, you will now have a worker waiting to execute mail delivery requests. Read more about how to execute these deliveries to take full advantage of the feature.

If you want to run the worker as a background process simply set the BACKGROUND environment variable before running the rake task:

BACKGROUND=1 QUEUE=mailers rake resque:work
