Thanks everybody for the feedback.

The site handles ebooks and emailing ebooks is a way to overcome a bug 
in the Kindle Fire to open .mobi files downloaded directly onto it from 
sources other than Amazon.

After careful consideration and analysis of the user base needs, I've 
opted to not seek a solution to run it in the background. The few 
readers that need this know that they'll have to wait.

So I implemented it as normal with PHPMailer. As I control the server 
farm as well as the contents engine, I could have executed any solution, 
but it wasn't worth the effort in the end.
