If it's important to get the emails sent and you want to track them on a mailing list, you could look at something like PostMark http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1900-Sending-Mail-And-Monitoring-Bounce-Backs-With-ColdFusion-And-Postmark.htm But of course this costs more money but may be better to ensure the emails get where they need to, as your mail server sending say 5k to yahoo may get blocked by yahoo. Sending mail is always a pain, and has many stumbling blocks.
