Is it possible to stop the mail delivery once the process has started - even
in the middle of a run?

PHP can handle this (although you will definitely have to disable
script timeout) in one run. But a smarter thing to do would be to not
send all the 5000 emails at one time rather come up with a method
that runs the PHP script every 5 minutes (a cron job) and send the
newsletter out in 200+ email batches. This will reduce the load one
the web server and also the mail server.
