## What it is
Django Post Office is a Django app for sending and managing email asynchronously, with support for HTML email, database-backed and multilingual templates, and logging. It queues emails in the database and sends them in parallel via management commands or task queues like RQ or Celery.

## Use cases
- send emails asynchronously in django
- queue transactional emails without blocking requests
- manage email templates in the database
- send html emails with inline images
- send bulk emails in parallel
- schedule recurring email sending via cron
- log and monitor sent emails in django admin

## When to choose
- you use Django and need queued, asynchronous email sending
- you want admin-managed, multilingual email templates
- you need to send large volumes of email efficiently with logging

## When to avoid
- you are not using Django
- you need a full transactional email service with delivery analytics
- you only send occasional simple emails and don't need queuing or templates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: email, scheduling, logging, templating
- domain: web-development, backend, email
- platform: python, self-hosted
- tags: django, email-templates, asynchronous-email, mail-queue, html-email, automation, web-server
