# This little guy will send out your newsletters AMAZINGLY fast.
# I do 90,000 recipients (approximately 20kb newsletter) in approximately
# 15 minutes with it.
# 
# Be *sure*, and I mean absolutely POSITIVELY sure that your email
# list is sorted by domain. all aol.com's together, all yahoo.com's
# together, etc. THAT IS *VERY* IMPORTANT, if it will not be sorted
# then you sacrifice pretty much all the speed of this thing.
# You also need to install Mail::Bulkmail module.
