The main problem with using mail() for mass emails is that every call
to mail() fires up sendmail, and you can easily swamp your machine.

Okay, this is not what I understand of mail() if the path to sendmail (or sendmail wrapper) is given (vs a smtp server). I might be wrong, and I hope I'm not, but if the path is set, doesn't it just inject the message into the queue?
