First of all Thank You Sir. Actually, we have to send mails to so many
people like some lacks or so and sometimes concurrently e.g 5-6K per/sec
and Gmail generally doesn't provide facility(as much i know). So i thought
to develop my own system which can do it.

Can you please elaborate this? What does that mean by operating in pieces?

This has been solved actually now we will not receive mails through it. Now
my requirement is just to build a system to send mails in fact bulk mails.
AFAIK i can pick data from database and by simple looping it can be sent to
others but this huge figure is something scary. Any comment on this?
