Thank you Chris.  On the face of it, it sounds like it could be merged  
in with zope.sendmail very easily, if you have the same interfaces.   
The zope.sendmail package already advertises the ability to use an  
external process for processing queued mail, but that appears to be an  
aspect of the design and the interfaces rather than in the  
implementation.

For this particular problem I faced, though, sticking with threads was  
easier for now.
