I suggest you write a daemon which reads from a queue table in the
database, and sends the email. This is slightly safer, because if
the email system fails in some way, the daemon can learn about it and
handle it. Also, this will scale: if you have to send 10,000 emails
at a time, things a re going to block fora long time while you write
all that into the mail queue. A dedicated program can handle it
better, by selecting a few thousand to prepare at a time.
