Oh. You definitely don't want to be using an external SMTP server if you
can help it then, and you should really be splitting those up into
chunks (no more than 1,000 at a time really) using something like PEAR
Queue as has already been suggested.

As far as I know, mail() just sends stuff to whatever the sendmail
binary is on your system, although I haven't really looked into it. Of
course you don't have to be running sendmail as most MTA will install
binaries such as /usr/sbin/sendmail which actually point to postfix or
qmail or whatever you're running.
