My MTA is exim with symlink as sendmail. I had a strange problem with exim while sending bulk mail (more than 3000 to our customer). It got stuck after sending around 200 mails and with sendmail on the same machine it worked fine. In my script i was reading the text file (email addresses) in a loop and then sending mail to that address.
