This doesn't seem to work. Here's what I've done.
1. I've set the Mass Contact to only allow 2 emails per hour (for testing purposes).
2. Sent the email off and it added it to the Job Queue.
3. When I go to: /admin/reports/job_queue I get:

4. In /admin/reports/status, I see Job Queue (9 jobs), however all of them have the same time:
Thu, 02/19/2009 - 20:05 Queued Mass Contact Mail
Thu, 02/19/2009 - 20:05 Queued Mass Contact Mail
Thu, 02/19/2009 - 20:05 Queued Mass Contact Mail
Thu, 02/19/2009 - 20:05 Queued Mass Contact Mail

Thu, 02/19/2009 - 20:05 Queued Mass Contact Mail
5. If I run cron.php manually, all 9 jobs are sent, when it should only be sending 2 per cron run.
Am I missing something?

#1
Also, in admin/settings/job_queue it says:
Job queue
Job type Priority
All other functions 0
Shouldn't it show the Mass Contact priority here?
#2
Furthermore, when cron fires, it sends all emails. It doesn't send the 2 per hour.
#3
This module does not use the Job queue module. According to the Job queue module's main page:
I don't use the job_queue_add() function. If you wish to supply a working patch adding that functionality to Mass Contact, I will look at adding it.
Also, your errors appear to be from the Job queue module, not the Mass Contact module, so you should ask over there about them.

Hi Jones,
Look at this issue:
http://drupal.org/node/373882
You have to modify one line on jobqueue module ...
For me it's working fine.
Hope I can help you.

oadaeh - As you can see, rsantiag applied a patch for it to work with job_queue:
http://drupal.org/node/373893
#6
rsantiag - I applied the fix to line 109, yet I still have the same errors and all 5 job queues will fire at the same time:

@everydayjones: rsantiag created the patches necessary to get Mass Contact to work with Job queue. As Mass Contact officially stands, it does not support Job queue, and as such, neither do I. I suggest you comment on rsantiag's post where the patches are listed, instead of creating a new issue.

Would be great if you could support it. It's a vital function for those behind server limits.
