What is still missing:
- SMTP delivery
- alias expansion
- proper sysexit codes
Show us the code. I want to help. These things are where I shine :)
heh, the code was attached :)

What I am not sure about:
- should the mailer block until all recipients are served or should it
(like now) daemonize instantly
Daemonize is simplest. A queue based (mail spool) smptd would be simplest too. 
Just make it queue requests like any MTA would do so nothing gets lost.
yah, all that works already.  queueing + delivery + retry + bounce after timeout, all done.

cheers
