instead of simply headering the location out, you could simply output
a html page, that has a meta tag to replace it.
maybe something like
<html/head/meta tag here>
<body>
<?php
$full_width = 200;
$amt_sent = $_GET['begin'] + 50;
$amt_to_send = 1000;
$img_width = ceil($amt_sent * $full_width / $amt_to_send);
?>
<img src="pixel.php" height="20" width="<?php echo $img_width; ?>">
<?php
flush();
send_the_mails();
?>

This doesn't necessarly need to be done using a self-referencing
script. You could have an ajax type system where each script is
accessed sequentially.
