As others have pointed out, the bottleneck will be where the message is
actually delivered appropriately via smtp... the database overhead is
usually quite low in comparison.
As far as open-source newsletter-style mailers go, if you'd like to roll
your own, PHPMailer looks like an excellent library to use. Otherwise,
check out PHPList, which I've used before to send out approximately
1200/hour but some people have better results. It's definitely not the
fastest method out there but it's free and somewhat flexible.
