Honestly speaking, when mailing lists grow to (somewhere past trivial)
numbers that are large it's best to use software that is designed to be
efficient at handling those numbers of people. I use ezmlm to handle a few
lists that total about 2000 people, others use majordomo or another such
list. ezmlm has options to interface w/ mysql should you want to.
The administration, handling of bounces, etc. can overwhelm!
