Which won't work with the majority of MTAs. Most limit the
maximum number of recipients per message to be something like 100 or
200. If the local MTA has been modified to have a higher limit than
normal, it should deal with the issue of envelope splitting if the
remote MTA has a smaller limit.
The flip side of having so many recipients per message is that
many mail systems will flag your messages as being spam, especially
larger sites like AOL.
