You could consider using QMQP to send the mail. Then you just have to pass
one copy of the message and a list of RCPTS. I do this to send email to
40000+ people and it works great.

thats how its doing it now ;) but i'd rather have qmail or sendmail handle
that for me,
1)it's probably more efficient for qmail to do the dirty work
2)this list has about 1000 people, and it takes more than a couple minutes
for perl to go through that all,making my program look like its hanging
;(
