I built something that does this trick. I'm no perl-guru; far from experienced. Yet I built something in a day time. Basicly it does: look for .eml files open the assciated list of mailadressess (plain text) scan the list for bad addresses (wow advanced feature ;) sort the list on domainname (wow advanced feature ;) devide the list into blocks of 50 address connect to smtp server (perl smtp module) and inject 50 (or less) addresses and one email. this job is run from cron which could be tuned to start when bandwidth use is low (at night) Works great... all we do is use an ASP (some people here have most experience in the language) page to let people upload their list through ftp.
