I recently came up with a different and perhaps a bit simpler solution:

I like your approach, as long as the console script is also provided to process the queue (as it is now in 3.8.0).
Oh, absolutely, the standalone script is a wonderful idea.
In any way, to keep BBB, we should ensure that users of zope.sendmail will have the thread running by default, without changing their code.
Yesterday I tried to upgrade to zope.sendmail 3.7.1 in an app that's currently based on Zope 3.4 KGS. I had to give up after two hours of fighting explicit and implicit compatibility problems and upgrading most of the version pins. The zope.component >= 3.8.0 requirement is deadly. My motivation to have an alternative fix that could be backported to something compatible with Zope 3.4 KGS is now much higher. Marius Gedminas -- http://pov.lt/ -- Zope 3 consulting and development
