It's taking around 1.5 seconds per email to communicate with the SMTP server to send email. This becomes an issue when there are many addresses. Putting all the addresses in the To field isn't an option because the tokens in the links must be unique so that we know who is accessing the job for storing plans to bid. One potential alternative is mailgun which currently offers 10000 free emails per month.

An idea could be an aws lambda that does the emailing. planroom-api could offload this work to the lambda to achieve an asynchronous feel.

If this turns out to use more AWS stuff, investigate Cloud Formation
