Why do you need an extra thread for this? Each request being processed
simultaneously already has its own thread, so you can do all the sending
simultaneously as long as you do all your mail processing within the
code that is generating your response. Of course, your SMTP client
class needs to be thread safe, and not have places where you lock out
simultaneous callers for long periods of time, but that would be true
even if you did create your own threads.

PS: If you wrote your own SMTP protocol handling instead of using
JavaMail, you are working too hard.
