I think your plan to use a separate thread to spool the messages out 
makes perfect sense.

I'm curious what is causing the SocketException.  I looked at some of my 
code and I don't catch SocketExceptions when sending mail.

 From the docs on Transport "Note that send is a static method that 
creates and manages its own connection. Any connection associated with 
any Transport instance used to invoke this method is ignored and not 
used. This method should only be invoked using the form 
Transport.send(msg);, and should never be invoked using an instance 
variable."
