We use mail(). I have on my list to re-write it to use SMTP sometime to see
if it works any faster, but it also goes into the "if it ain't broke, don't
fix it" category.
If all the messages were identical, we might be able to get some efficiency
by sorting the list by domain name and batching them up with SMTP, but
usually they're customized for each person.
This gets run on a fairly beefy Sun E420 with an excellent network
connection (Digital Island @ http://www.digitalisland.net) which may help
things a bit. :)
