Did some additional testing....
Email messagwith many recips are sent immediately.
Messages that are sent to lists are broken into many files (lst) and
processed immediately - but only the top 5 addresses of each lst file. You
then must wait for the next queue time to to send the next 5 from each list
and so on...
