I have an announcement list with 45,000 members, when I send an email not only does it severely overload the server but it also gets blocked from performing DNS lookups after the first few thousand lookups.
Which MTA are you using? You may want to let mailman send it all to the MTA and have the MTA slow the delivery. Postfix has some rate controls (http://www.postfix.org/rate.html), I assume that most of the other MTAs do too.
