Note, Mail and Auth are separate classes, and Mail does not know about Auth, so we would first have to pass the Auth object to Mail somehow. A better option might be to add a convenience method to Auth to easily extract the members (and possibly individual fields, such as email) of a given group or set of groups -- that could be used to send an email to a group of users, but would also have other uses.
