The software to queue e-mails is called a MTA.

Installing a local postfix (or exim or any other MTA the OP is comfort-
able with) configured to accept local e-mail without authentication
should get the submission time down in the ms range. The further pro-
cessing is then done by a software that is built to handle e-mail: the
MTA.
