Here I have to desagree if we do something like that we will have a prety lock application whenever we try to 
send mail. 
I was thinking more in doing something using IO (don't remember the name of the funtion) wach using gnet to 
make all the socket conections and the receiving and sending stuff.

What you think about that?
