Javamail is quite capable of bulk emails. You'll need to ask a more specific question.

You can send any number of recipients via email.

A:
The "queue" ability usually requires a SMTP server which traditionally is provided by your Internet Service Provider. You then use e.g. JavaMail to generate all those mails you need to send and forward them to the SMTP-server and let it handle all the details.
If you really, really need to run your own SMTP-server, I believe James can do it (http://james.apache.org/) but I would recommend the ISP approach.
