I wrote something similar several years ago. One issue is throttling cpu usage. If you don't put a timer on this, and you are doing the emails asynchronously, it'll bring your cpu to a crawl. One thing I do now is use a list server. I have a Communigate Email server and I create a list of email addresses and then send one email to the list. It is then distributed to the entire list, which could be thousands.
