In a web application, upon some actions I send e-mail to a few people. I guess in the longer term the number can go up to several 100s addresses. The messages need to be sent individually as they might have slightly different content.

I have been using Mail::Sendmail so far but I have a feeling (admittedly not measured) that it is slow. I would like to make sure the e-mails are dispatched as fast as possible with little load on the CPU.

Then, once they are dispatched they can stay in the sendmail queue till they get delivered.

What module do the monks recommend for this?

Update

The app is on a linux machine with postfix as the mailer and I am using it as the SMTP server.
