I would be doing a loop, and I would also ask what version of CF if its CFMX6+ then cfmail its ok to use. But god forbid, I wouldn't use more than one email address for something like this in any one field To:, CC: or even BCC:
The reason being and its very simple, you could be seen as a mass mailout and get blocked by many ISP's. However thats not to day that you might not with a cfloop either, but at least the emails when spooled will not go unless the server is idle reducing the time between emails being sent out.
