I have a php script that looks at a CSV file that contains the name and 
email of the person. It then goes through the list of names/emails one 
at a time and sends them an email. It varies on how many names are 
there, but usually around 10,000 - 20,000.

We don't have to worry about greylisting because we are an approved 
supplier to this list.

After reading a few of the comments here, I definitely want to so the 
timing in my script instead of cron, so I'll be able to break it and 
then start it back up as soon as it's 10:00 PM again.
