1) Instead of sending the email, put it in a database table with one field "sent" set to 0;
2) Use cron to check for email that hasn't been sent, send it, then update the "sent" field to 1; (I have cron check for unsent email once per minute)

This type of behavior has a lot of advantages. For one, you can always check if mail is going out. Also, it's really easy to resend email just by marking "sent" as 0 again. There is 0 email sending lag time, because it's being put in a queue.

Not sure how to use cron at all.

Everyone has to learn sometime:
