Rails - Jun 2005 - Sending bulk mail

What is the advised way to send bulk mail (as in an opt-in newsletter)
in Ruby?  Should I simply use the Net::SMTP class and loop through list
of recipients?  Or is there a better way?

Thank you

I''m currently doing this something like this:

I have a "quemanager" (actually just a simple XML-RPC server) that I 
load with a specific actionmailer class. I then prepare a "job" from 
withing the user interface and send the job id to the quemanager. The 
quemanager fetches 100 records (email adresses) at a time from the 
database and sends them out with the actionmailer.

It works quite nice at the moment. I even can see "progress" (with
Ajax)
on the user interface.
