Populate a temporary database table with all the emails.
Setup a scheduled job to run every half hour (or whatever), which will read
a batch of X records, loop through them, send the email, and remove them
from the database table (or update a flag, as appropriate).
At the end of each cfloop iteration, you can do this to make it pause for a
bit:
<cfset thread = createObject("java", "java.lang.Thread")/>
<cfset thread.sleep(javaCast("long", 3000))/> <!--- 3 seconds --->
