Look into TwistedPython (
www.twistedmatrix.com) or misc Perl mods..
Net::SMTP might have it.
Php is going to take forever parsing and constructing 10,000 emails --
regardless of feeding them to exim via a mail() or sendmail hook, or
making a connection to remote hosts.
Python and Perl scripts would both be far better suited to that than
php webpages.
You shouldn't even deal with exim -- the script should handle the smtp
connections to remotes hosts itself. No need to introduce the
overhead of an MTA in there.
