Yes I realize that, but what If Im installing WP on a large number of
workstations, and each php config is different, how can I avoid it hanging,
like of smtp is all together disabled or any type of internal mail system.

Sounds like PHP needs to be configured correctly to handle the fact it can't
send emails.. WordPress is going to call the php mail() function, and i'd
assume that's where it's hanging. Take a close look at your php mail
config..
