So there isn't really much to go on.  But I'd say that putting data in the database, then reading it 
to put in a socket, which goes in the mail queue, which goes to a socket is probably more repetitive 
than it needs to be.  Writing messages directly to the mail queue would be better.

Of course exim is the expert at putting mail in the queue so you don't really want to reinvent the 
wheel.  But it seems likely that someone has already solved this problem (maybe even in PHP).
