I run a subscription based newsletter service on one of my sites. There are about 6000 subscribers.
Originally I tried just increasing the query timeout. I found my mail server (SIMS at the time) couldn't keep up with the influx of mail. I then changed it to a system that created a mail file for each recipient in the Incoming mail folder of a mail server (WebStar Mail this time). Worked but was a bit messy. These days I use a CRON function to create a single mail file and a list of recipients. And then I have a CRON that runs every minute and sends to 20 recipients on the list. Far more stable.
