700 recipients is not too big. A couple thousand is. Even with a list
that small, though, you will still run into big delivery delays if some
addresses in the middle are on hosts that are not responding or responding
slowly unless you're running a mailer that avoids that problem.
If you do want to split the list, it's much easier just to use a splitter
to do it for you. Splitters include:
bulk_mailer (location is in the FAQ)
TLB (get it from me if you're interested)
splitlist (was posted here; check the archives)
choplist (part of Smartlist)
These vary in features and configurability; splitlist is the simplest, TLB
is the most fully featured.
