I have to write a script that will send about 300 emails with an
automatically generated report and text, and I am concerned about crashing
the server with that many successive calls to mail()... Is that a reasonable
concern, or am I being foolish?

And, if is a reasonable concern, my assumed solution would be to call
sleep() for, say, 15 seconds between each mail send...

Am I on the right track, or is there a better way?

Thanks for any help...
