Is there any framework that will allow me to send email without going through a GUI?

Add this framework to your project and then use my Swift class:

class EmailSender : SKPSMTPMessageDelegate {

    private init() {}

    static let sharedInstance = EmailSender();

    func sendEmail(email : String, subject : String, message : String) {
        let EMAIL_FROM = "test@gmail.com";
        let EMAIL_PASS = "TestPassword";
        let SMTP_SERVER = "smtp.gmail.com";

        let EMAIL_TO   = email;

        let emailMessage = SKPSMTPMessage();
        emailMessage.delegate = self;
        emailMessage.fromEmail = EMAIL_FROM;
        emailMessage.toEmail = EMAIL_TO;
        emailMessage.relayHost = SMTP_SERVER;
        emailMessage.requiresAuth = true;
        emailMessage.login = EMAIL_FROM;
        emailMessage.pass = EMAIL_PASS;
        emailMessage.subject = subject;

        emailMessage.wantsSecure = true;

        let plainMsg = [
            kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey : "text/plain",
            kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey : message,
            kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey : "8bit"
        ];

        emailMessage.parts = [plainMsg];
        emailMessage.send();
    }

    //MARK SKPSMTPMessageDelegate

    @objc func messageSent(_ message: SKPSMTPMessage!) {

    }

    @objc func messageFailed(_ message: SKPSMTPMessage!, error: Error!) {

    }

}

You should check out the SKPSMTPMessage framework. This allows you to send emails in the background. http://code.google.com/p/skpsmtpmessage/ It is not possible to do so yet, unless you code around MFMailComposeViewController which would presumably get your app rejected from the store (iOS5.0)

If you don't need to have the email sent from the iPhone users mail app, you could offload the action to a server and have the server mail it on the users behalf.

The only problem with this is that you may have spam issues depending on what service you use (Mail Chimp etc...).
