Automated (scheduled) batch processes
PHP List can handle sending to zillions of email addresses, but your hosting company and/or ISP and/or the spam police won't be as thrilled with the idea. Also, when you click Process Queue you should really keep that process window open until it's done, but it might get stuck in the process. Meet throttle processes. [...]
