It might be a good idea to set a cron job to send say, 100 at a time over the space of a few hours, to avoild killing the mail server or the server blocking connections from you.
Also - use the BCC field to send the mail, this means only one connection will need to be made to the mail server per batch of addresses, as opposed to a connection per address (saves bandwidth and mail server!). The mail server will then send the messages where they need to go and hide all the other recipents.
