I guess you meant qmail as your MTA and procmail as your MDA.
(What's LDA? Local Delivery Agent?)

You have several options:
The Mutt-based:
1) Set up a Mutt alias with the addresses and when sending your message,
put this alias in the Bcc: field. In the To: field, put yourself or
perhaps something like "undisclosed-recipients:;".
The non-Mutt-based:
2) Create a .qmail file for this list, either under your own account's
control (.qmail-list in your home dir, then send email to
prabhakar-list@yourcomputer) or under ~alias. In this file list the
6 addresses. For more info about .qmail files look at "man dot-qmail".
Hope this helps,
Mikko
