That's the way he wants to do it, so it works well for him.
But no, you shouldn't have to do it that way.

There could be a lot of factors. Have you checked the "Number of
Recipients per Message" option for the mailing list (I'm assuming you're
sending via a mailing list)? That should be 200 in your situation, per the
IMail mailing list formula.

I'm sure Len can provide some numbers of what a good mail server can send
out per hour. IMail has troubles when there is overflow (after its max of
about 30 processes is hit), because the queue handling just doesn't cut it.
