wouldn't something like this do what you're talking about?
try {
Transport.send(msg);
} catch (Exception e) {
ActionMessages errors = new ActionMessages();
errors.add("mail",new ActionMessage("mail.pearshaped.error");
saveErrors(request, errors);
}

JavaMail - no problem... found loads of examples.
With regards to the canceling of requests, i'm not sure what you're
saying -
are you saying
1. your code will stop on browser cancels and there's nothing you can
do
or
2. you're code will always finish running even if the user cancels (tho
obviously it wont get displayed)
Comparing this to php, when a browser cancels a request to php, it
stops the
execution of the script (sometimes...). But, you can add code to make
the
script complete regardless of wether the user is still there or not.
This is what i want to acheive. I cant have the user submitting a
request,
and then stopping it part way through.

Subject: Re: sending emails from a struts app
I need to send out emails from a struts app.
Any comments on the best way to go about this?
Yes, use JavaMail:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/
http://www.j2eeolympus.com/J2EE/JavaMail/JavaMail.jsp
As sending mail can be slow, is there an easy way to do this in the
background?
That depends entirely on your requirements. I supposed you could use
anything from kicking off another thread [0] to using JMS [1] to queue
up some mail process.

What happens if a client cancels a request part way through? is there
any
way to handle this / ignore cancels?
"part way through".....there's no such animal. Once the page is
submitted
or a link is clicked, you (server side) have no control over it. At
best,
the browser may send a disconnect if the user hits the stop button or
closes
the browser abruptly, but that's not guaranteed and is VERY browser
specific.
Even if you were lucky enough to dictate the browser and version, you
will
never see it get past the container. As I have told other people, I
would
give up on that requirement, unless you want to "roll your own
browser" like
my current gig is doing[3].
