That's not entirely true, in as much as it may be technically correct but in
reality could bite you in the ass.  If you send out a lot of emails, you'll
likely piss off a lot of admins if you open/close a bunch of connections and
send one email a piece

Better to send out in a group while you have the socket open...

And TheSchwartz has a module for this already:
