Thanks, Al.  We're looking into different tools to aid in our
email-shots... potentially upto 20,000 recipients.  Last time we did
this it brought out current mail server to its knees.  We're thinking
about moving all mass-email functions to a separate, under-used machine
(ie one that won't actually affect our users if it grinds to a halt),
but if we're doing a big change like this we might as well look at
alternatives for managing the list of recipients.

Cheers.
Grant.
