Thanks for the reply. I'm aware it's not a good design, which is why I also
asked for suggestions for better ways to accomplish my purpose :) I'm going to
try the subethasmtp java smtp server.

This sounds like a bad design. It is unlikely that your FIFO has any
way to indicate success or failure. You probably can't indicate the end
of the message to the FIFO listener. Your FIFO probably can't support
parallel delivery. There are likely many more issues.
Even if you solve your apparent problem, your real problem (bad design)
will not be solved.
