Assuming the recipient list in a file, one address per line, this should
work:

for recipient in $(ls /path/to/recipientlist.txt); do mutt -a /path/to/attachment -s "subject of message" $recipient < /dev/null; done

That should happen automatically if the mail is sent from a system or root
cronjob. In any case, the root user's mail should be aliased to an account
used by a real person. Regularly logging in as root just to check mail is
not a good idea. Add an alias to /etc/aliases like this:

root: ibmdali@localhost

Just add root to the file that contains the recipient list.
