Send the browser a response.sendRedirect(newURL) and then start your java mail stuff. User sees a page that says "Work in progress" and doesn't have to wait for your servlet to finish.

The problem is that it "hangs" the page for ages as it churns away sending the mail. Is there anyway to execute a method in the background, so effectively it calls something which churns away but control is returned back to the servlet straight away?
