It's overkill if you ever only needed to do it once, but should the situation come up again the investment in time and effort will likely pay off.

It's not an overkill. He spent 12 minutes developing the solution and then 5 more minutes for actual sending of 125 emails. That's 17 minutes in total.

I assume doing the same task manually would take him at least a day or two, with the possibility of making numerous mistakes by doing it.
