If each individual email needs to be personalized, then you're going to
have to deliver each individually.  If there are 25-40 000 recipients,
that means 25-40 000 emails, and so you're going to need a heavy duty
mail transfer agent like sendmail to do the job.  It's trivial to write
a program to generate the personalized emails, but if you want to get
anything like reasonable performance you're best off letting sendmail
handle the bulk deliveries.
