I have a similar situation whereby i need to send only two hundred emails, pause, another two hundred etc etc.

I have a daemon that sleeps every 5 mins then kicks in to see if there are any "Bulk Mails" to send.

Sleep works well for me in the daemon part where it scans for new mails every 300 seconds, and in the other part where it pauses after a run of 200 mails.

No, no spam, we've a customer base of around 300k that needs explicit communication sometimes.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
