Description

The e-mail notifications of watches (wiki, tracker, article, etc.) are sent out when changes are made. This means that the user submitting the change has to wait for the PHP-Code to send out all the mails before he can continue browsing. This is annoying and even...

... more evil is that with thousands of users to notify of the change the PHP-script will tend to time out and not all the notifications are sent!

One possibility would be to set the timeout higher, but that isn't really a solution at all. So the sending of mails needs to happen asynchronously. One simple solution would be to have a daemon running on the same system, which sends out the mails and the PHP-script just notifies the daemon of what to do. This would make installation a lot harder though and can't really be a desired solution.

Any possibilities to solve this in PHP directly?
