If you expect more than four messages per week to be sent to the list, then
you can't do this with any mailing list manager.  (If I can still do
arithmetic, it would take about 44 hours to send 14,000 messages at 300 per
hour.)

I think you need a different hosting company.

Aside from that little detail, this general question has come up several
times recently, and as far as I know the answer remains "no".
