At my last job, we successfully flew under the radar by sending individual 
messages to each recipient.  We were sending info to around four hundred 
thousand registered users of our site and some tens of thousands were at 
yahoo, hotmail, aol &c.

Our only problems were on our side ... we ran out of filehandles a couple 
times.  If anyone wants to take a look at the quick and dirty perl script I 
wrote, you're welcome to it.
