the best way for me turned out to be this:
sed -e 's/^/Bcc: /g' < address_list > bcc_address_list
add message content & other headers to bcc_address_list
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject < bcc_address_list
this worked just fine, without the added steps of installing and configuring
ezmlm just for this purpose. for *purely* 1 time mailings, with no need for
unsubscribes/moderation, etc, this seems to be the leanest way to do it.
