I did add 
+                 sleep(len(chunk)/10)

and it seems to work. I'll test it big time tonight when I send a new batch
of 150 K emails, and keep you posted. But I'm not happy with the present
algorithm, because I'd like other lists not to be hampered by the big list,
so I'd rather have all lists send a chunk and go back to sleep, letting a
chacne to any other list to send one of its chunks. I don't think it'll be
too much of a rewrite to change that. Any ideas welcome.
