For a couple of years now, I use the EXCELLENT Mail::Bulkmail module[1].
It's really a pain to setup and to have the first script to run, but 
then, it's a dream to run. It start by sorting the recipientlist by 
domain, you can configure the number of recipients per mail, the number 
of mail per SMTP transaction...
You can also do personalise emails, based on a db/text file....

The 10 pages doc really worth it.
