How about a cron-driven mail queue? I think that would solve the problems of many people and be very helpful when not using software that already provides queuing.

Just tried the GMail method mentioned above, and I can't seem to change the 'From email' when sent through the gmail smtp. The from name and reply-to stuff get set fine, but the from email just gets set as 'email@gmail.com'

Any ideas if it is possible to change this?

Thanks in advance.

That's exactly what I'm working on. Every 5 minutes cron can execute a .php page that will fire off the next 7 emails in the queue.
