I regularly use CF8 to send 20K - 40K of emails out using just standard
settings, so wonder if there's something else going here?

At any rate, why not whack all the emails into a db table, then periodically
check that table to see if there are any emails in there, and if so, send
1000 out, delete them and stop - wait for the next poll and so on until
there's nothing left..

Cheers,
Rich
