sendmail vs Net::SMTP vs Mail::Sendmail

Can't Post

Hi Folks,
I'm scheduling a nightly cron job to send a standard plain-text reminder notice. This could be sent to 1 to 50 people (or more if the site is very successful :). I'm trying to decide whether to open a pipe to sendmail or use Net::SMTP or Mail::Sendmail. Considerations are:
1) want to minimize use of system resourses
2) want to know if a given e-mail address was sent successfully. If it fails, I don't need to know the details of why it failed, just that it did in fact fail.
3) as this is a cron job (so no user is waiting for a response) it could run as a low priority "background" task for an extended period of time
I'd also be interested in hearing recommendations / experiences with any freely available scripts for low to medium volume bulk mailing.
