Ok, I see.

The limitation is there for a reason. Although it might be very low right
now, I suspect churning out 10k emails directly from dhis2 will cause
issues. They would be sent as 10k single messages through the configured
SMTP which will be slow and might cause issues downstream  as well (think
rouge SMTP blacklisting etc).

Did you consider using a third party bulk email service, triggered by DHIS2
somehow?
