From the PHP.net Documentation.

Note: It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes an SMTP socket for each email, which is not very efficient.
For the sending of large amounts of email, see the » PEAR::Mail, and » PEAR::Mail_Queue packages.

The Zend Mail class is probably pretty good (most of Zend's stuff is good) But if you want other options. Here they are.
