Description
I'm thinking of using this module for send out to our mailing list of about 4000 addresses.
Do you think it would handle that volume of mailing or would it time out? I have used it for sending 7 or 8 mails & it seems to go a bit slow.
I'm using a dedicated server that a friend gives me some space on.
Any advice / experience?

The answer to your questions are that it all really depends on your server. The module should be able to handle sending the mail, but a slow or underpowered server may give it problems. There is a feature of this module that you can use to help where you can specify the number of recipients per mail sent. So, if you set it to 100 and sent a message to 4000 people, this module would send 40 e-mails, each containing 100 recipients.
There is also a patch for this module to work with the Job Queue module to control that a bit: http://drupal.org/node/373893. I have not tried it at all, so I have no idea how well it works.
