The question is: can your e-mail server can handle it. I think it 
depends on the implementation, but if a server treats the whole sending 
process as a single message, it can hit a timeout and try to resend it. 
You end up with an endless fax stream (coversation with customers 
afterwards is a pure delight :)). I created a dedicated web panel for 
bulk faxing and limited the recipients number to 10 (default on Postfix 
I think).

I think there is a parameter that's responsible for how long the job can 
be on the queue. You can tweak that. Otherwise, all the jobs just pop 
into the queue and stay there.
