I have a client with a small opt-in mailing list of about 2000 email
addresses. I'd like to use ASP.NET to help automate this, including adding
an instant removal system. So I'm asking if using an async process would
work here, before I dig into the code. I saw an example of it done with web
services, so I figure the same would work for the mail object.
With the removal system, I figure I could write a mail client in asp.net to
hit the POP3 and check returned messages for reject keywords under that
account. That's step 2 though.

ASP.NET) for hours at a time to do things like send bulk emails? Are
there some restrictions and timeouts that are set by the hosting companies? I
use shared hosting.

Are you sure that your hosting company will allow spamming?
It might give high CPU/bandwidth usage, which will be a problem in a
shared environment.
