>1. Is this possible? Worthwhile? Alternatives?
Yes, it's possible and worthwhile (if you are paid). However, I wouldn't
recommend IMail's mailing list for a list that size.
>2. In the manual I see that the number of processes should be
>#recipients/25. If I divide the 80k/25 I get over 3000 processes?
That's actually the number of recipients per E-mail, so you would have 25
processes each handling 3,000 recipients. As you can see, it will take a
long time to deliver it all (and it can slow down other E-mail on the
server). If you search the archives, you should find software designed for
larger volume mailings.
