Umbraco packages - extending the mail engine from nibble.be
(Warning, technical post)
We've used Tim Geyssen's very good mail package on one of our recent projects
It's the one that was originally posted here.
We had problems with it timing out, and so took a look at the source code to see if it could be toughened up a bit. We made the loop that emails each member run in a background process.
We've patched Tim's original code, found here:

With a patch that you can download here:
http://www.welovetheweb.com/documents/MailEnginePatch.zip
e.g.
cd MailEngine patch -p1 < ..\MailEngine.patch
It's now running 10,000 mail sends without issues.
