Are all/most of the recipients at the same domain? If not, I wouldn't
worry. A few messages at once to different recipients is not unusual,
especially from mailing lists (like yahoo groups).
If the receiving server tar-pits you, that will just slow you down at the
reveivers discretion. Basically the same effect as you're asking for.
