I know this is an Evo list, but whenever I've done something like this I talk to sendmail (or whatever) directly. I have a script such as: #!/bin/csh foreach i (`cat $1`) echo $i echo "To: "$i | cat - content > tmpxx /usr/sbin/sendmail -f "gunge@x.x" -t < tmpxx rm -f tmpxx sleep 1 end Which takes a bunch of addresses in a file and sends an email to each one individually. The file "content" is the email minus the "To: " header, but including all the necessary ones like From:, Date:, Subject: - you should also probably have a couple of others as well. Critically, sendmail adds the unique message-id itself. This was the last "content" file I used (suitably sanitized): From: "A Person" <a.person@x.x> Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 23:27:37 +0000 Subject: Hello User-Agent: Heirloom mailx 12.5 7/5/10 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello everyone, The script needs to run as a user that can change the sender in sendmail (usually root), and I put the sleep in to stop mailers thinking I'm spamming.
