Web Services email

I have a windows services that sends an email, my problem is it will only send the email when the service is terminated or onStop. What can I do to send the email every time smtp.send is called and not wait till the service is terminated?

I have this code in my onStart() method:
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.xxx.com");
try
{
smtp.Send(message);
}
catch (SmtpException a)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(a);
}
But for some reason the email is only sent out when the windows service is stopped. Does the message goes to a que and only sent when stopped? How can I make this send email in time intervals? Thanks!

Does sound like its queing. How long do you have the application open? If you close the application after 5 mins does it send the email then?
