No.  Its not spamming.

I work mostly for large entertainment companies -- if you would like so, i 
can send you to my portfolio and corporate site -- this particular list 
problem is centered around a record label's website relaunch.  Instead of 
inundating fans with 1 mailing from 20+  artist lists that they choose to 
subscribe to, I've decided to merge multiple lists into 1.  Subscribers will 
get 1 email with general label info, and specific artist news will be 
provided based on the user's requests.  (Posts will only be about monthly, 
aside from an 'album release' email that could be offschedule -- but that 
specific list data is always available)

This solution is a little more processing time on the backend -- but only by 
20 or so seconds -- but it should cut down on mail sending time (larger 
messages, fewer envelopes).   Mail::Bulkmail provides for this -- was 
actually built for stuff like this -- but perl is ungodly slow at merging 
the list names / options compared to python.
