Actually, with Akonadi, the sending will be done with yet another (non-
GUI) process. Again, for better integration with the desktop. Because 
why should an application like KAlarm start KMail just to send a 
notification.

For obvious reasons KMail will not wait until the message is sent before 
it quits. It will quit as soon as it has passed the message to the 
dispatcher. Just like in the good old times when sending was done by 
passing a message to sendmail. But, of course, as David explained, there 
will be a job notification (unlike with sendmail where the user didn't 
get any UI feedback).
