Keep it simple, use the right tool for the job.

sendmail implements it's own queuing system in terms of sending out
messages as quickly as it can handle.

You submit your message(s) (like a mail agent) to sendmail, it queues 
the mail by writing it to disk, the sendmail daemon then processes the
queue in the background. It's simple and rather well tested.

Queueing an email is well within usable limits of processing a request 
cycle.
