I've got a related question - does anyone send bulk emails with that
plugin?  Is the delay reasonable when sending let's say a hundred
emails or do I need a background mechanism for that?  I have now a
forking solution - but it is a bit complex (and for mod_perl they
recommend to do it in a 'cleanup' handler instead of a forked
process).
