Maybe you're approaching this a little backwards. Why are you wanting to
enter the "sending" function through an HTTP call? In other words, why
can't you just call it directly as a Python function and pass it the
list of mail ids you want to send?
That approach is still going to have a slight problem with scale, since
it takes a small amount of time to send each piece of mail, so
eventually the time taken will be longer than you want to wait before
returning from the view. But that's unrelated to your current and is a
standard issue when sending mail from a view (the solution is to store
the details of the mail to be sent and have some background process -- a
cronjob for example -- do the actual sending).
