I'm currently working on a php project where users can schedule specific email deliveries. They choose a future date and time and the message should be delivered on that specific date and time.
I'm familiar with rabbitmq, because I used it on other projects. Is there a way to use it for scheduling messages to specific dates? Even if they are far away in the future? I tried the delayed message plugin, but it didn't work out as expected and maybe the range of the delay attribute isn't enough because its unit is milliseconds.
Or should I use a cronjob for this task? Or maybe a different message queue which can be used with php and has this kind of feature?
Thanks
