This question came up just recently (few days ago) and someone suggested
(among other things) to process the list in batches. So instead of
individually looping through 1000's of emails or putting 1000's of email
address in the Cc: or Bcc: fields, put them in batches of 200 or so and
go from there.
HTH,
Chris.
