Yes, some MTA provide means to just queue the message and do not wait
for delivery attempt.
Under Linux/Unix, sendmail and exim have switches for this. Under
Windows you can drop the messages in Exchange pickup folder .
If you want to go for these solutions, you may want to try this class.
It has sub-classes specialized in deliverying with different MTA:
sendmail (or exim, or postfix), qmail, SMTP, Exchange pickup folder,
etc.. Just call the class SetBulkMail function before entering the bulk
mail loop.

PS. Do not use SMTP for bulk mailing unless you do not have an
alternative. It is the slowest method of all.
