there ain't nothin wrong....with a little bump n grind....
ahem.  sorry. 

there ain't nothing wrong with wanting to send a bunch of emails at
once.  there *is* something wrong with wanting mutt to do that for you.
it's a subtle difference, but one that most of us wankers will staunchly
defend.  =)

like people have alluded to before, mutt is an MUA; that means Mail 
User Agent (not Mutt User Agent, like I just wrote on accident).  it's 
for U, the user.  things like sendmail, postfix, and the like, are MTA's, 
Message Transport Agents|Mail Transfer Agents.  they're for the T; T 
is for sending.  =)  

a lot of smtp speaking relay only MTA's support queuing of mail that 
will be sent all at once, which will do exactly what you want, *and* 
preserve the sanctity of the sacred job of an MUA.  ;)

search the archives for threads that will point you to a bunch of these
relay only MTA's[1].

[1] man, i'm nice today...
