That's correct. That's how mailing lists usually work. They take one input message, potentially add things like headers and footers, then send that back out to the list recipients -- tens, or hundreds, or thousands of addresses.


They typically group as many recipients together as they can, so that they send one copy of the message, addressed to multiple users.
