There's probably a better way to do that. In fact I really doubt that
code will work(I don't use the current, next stuff much and it probably
doesn't work quite like that), but I would probably implement it
something like that. Though if your server can't send 20,000 emails out
with in six hours you might want to consider new hardware.
