I do something similar in a perl script I knocked up a very long time ago.
Still use it. 

Originally (on much slower machines) it did knock sendmail, and just about
everything else over, so all we did is run a simple 'for-loop' which emails
them in batches of 20, every 20 seconds, and the page it returns, calls the
script with a parameter saying where it got to last time.

This is very old technology now, but it ain't broke, so not going to get
fixed ;-)


Hope that helps
