Not a problem. It will all Just Work.

Well, I don't really get what you're saying, but I'll assume that you
do and that it works. $i was simply a loop counter--it just means
that you're going to go through the loop 100 times. Each iteration,
you can send as many mail adds as you want.
But whatever.

Pablo, I think we're having a communication gap here. Let me try one
more time.
The original code that I sent you essentially boiled down to this:
while(more mails to send) {
send next mail;
sleep 1;
}
That C<sleep 1> means to wait one second before sending the next
mail. If you want it to be 3 seconds, then just say C<sleep 3>. How
is this different from what you want sendmail to do for you? (*) Don't
complicate things more than they need to be.
--Dks
(*) If your answer is 'because then sendmail is managing the queues
instead of perl', then you're on the wrong list. Just run the script
in the background if you don't want it tying up a terminal window for
too long. Or run it in cron.
