The database idea has some good uses - I run 120 shop sites and of 
course they're constantly sending out account confirmations, order 
updates, etc.  Currently there's no way of easily tracking what happened 
to an email or finding out when, for example, hotmail decides to 
completely ignore a password confirmation request.  If each email (or a 
representation of it) were stored, a status field could easily be 
updated by something processing the mail server logs.

Of course, all that could be wrapped up as one of several email sending 
methods.
