You could pipe your mail through to "mail" (or one of the other command line 
mailers) and background the process aslong as you don't need to do anything 
complicated in your mail sending. Another thought is how long are you having 
to wait? It shouldn't take anywhere near a second (generally) to send the 
mail unless you have virus scanning or something else going on with the 
mail. But either way your not going to get a yes/no answer unless you wait 
for it (or save it and check it later and even then its not definite if its 
been sent ok).
