outlook 2003 mail-merge and it is causing bandwidth problems with my provider

I don't believe it is possible with mailmerge

Our email scheduler (http://www.repeatmail.com) which will allow you to send
multiple individual emails, html or plain text, with attachments, either as
a one-off or regularly at a specified time and interval. The recipients list
can be drawn from your Outlook Contacts, a plain text file,database or
spreadsheet. It also allows you to specify the interval between each send
so as to avoid triggering any spam limits on your account. Outlook is not
needed to send. Your machine needs to be switched on, but you don't even
have to be logged in. Works with Win 98/XP/2003/Vista

Not natively, unless you do small bursts of the mail merge instead or place
Outlook in Offline Mode after every x amount of messages. Better would be to
ask your provider which time you could run this instead or if they could do
the mailing for you.

There are also several mass mail tools available which allow you to set how
many emails will be sent out at once.
