Well, on the matter of updating the list: you do recall that mutt _also_ has a "list of addresses in a file" feature, called an alias?

A very short shell script like:

 #!/bin/sh
 (
   echo 'alias the_list \'
   sed 's/.*/  &, \\/' < text-file-of-addresses-one-per-line.txt
   echo
 ) > mutt-alias.txt
 mutt -F mutt-alias.txt -s 'subject' the_list < message-body.txt

avoids an inifinity of mailing list software installation/integration work.
