The Message Operations page will let you release them 50/page. You
find that on the reports page, so it is simple to limit to one
customer or other.
Scripting should be equally simple: Get the IDs out of the maillog
table with an appropriate SQL statement (look at the MW code for
ideas), use that and the sendmail command with the envelope recipient
on the actual message file for that ID (it just contain the RFC822
message, including all attachments) and you should be fine.

Or am I missing what you are trying to do here? Why would you do this
type of "bulk releasing"?
