Yes, that is a bad idea. If all goes well, the E-mail will be delivered,
but it could take hours. If it doesn't go well, you could overload the
server (if 1,000 imail1.exe processes are running at the same time, it
could easily cause a problem). One option would be to space them out
timewise (sleeping a few seconds between each one).
It doesn't sound like the speed of delivery is an issue, but if it is, you
can use our free Declude Queue to help get the E-mail out faster. It helps
speed up deliveries that are slowed down when IMail can't deliver the
E-mail right away and instead sticks it in the spool.
