Sendmail question

I'm writing a newsletter script. Well revising one I wrote a year ago. At that time I made it create multiple queue directories of no more than 2000 emails per queue and then run one copy of sendmail on each queue (largest queue first) until there were 85 copies of sendmail running.

Is that advantageous over simply dumping all the files straight into sendmail and letting it handle it?

I figure just dump it all to sendmail and tell sendmail to dump unsent messages in 24 hours rather than 5 days. Rather than trying to split it all up and then running multiple copies of sendmail on each queue directory.

Thanks for any advice. Managing the multiple queue directories is a pain and if there's really no need why bother!
