the mailing format is dead simple and plain text

Can't DTS or export query results to a file?

If the export isn't exactly in the format you want, then you could use a 
scriptable editor or the Unix text processing tools for Win32 
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ to reformat the SQL output into the 
correct  format.  sed, awk, tr, etc.

sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. I would suggest a real list server, 
or at least Scott's queue kicker tool to keep the messages moving.

20K isn't very many, it should take 30 or 40 minutes or so to send.
