The man page actually does have all the necessary information in it.
Create a file for the envelope information; put all fifty thousand recipients in it.
This file has the format
"F" <sender-address> <NUL>
"T" <recipient-address <NUL>
...
<NUL>
Put the actual email message (properly formatted, with headers) in another
file. Then run qmail-queue with fd 0 open on the message file, and fd 1
open on the envelope file. If qmail-queue exits 0, everything went fine.
Otherwise, you didn't do it right.
