In that case, just use sendmail instead of mail. It's not as clean as solution as the Mail::Internet example Jason just posted. So if you'r comfortable with Perl, use that. If you are more comfortable with sendmail and shell/file interaction, you'd do something like this in your script (note the use of additional file messageout.txt). Have the message itself (no headers) in message.txt list of email addresses in email.txt And a script similar to this (untested, didn't do a syntax check) #!/bin/bash # get list alias=`/bin/cat ./emails.txt` fromaddress="from@xxxxxxxx" # enter loop for each address for a in $alist do #verobse output danka echo "mailing to $a" # form message echo "Subject: this is your subject" > ./messageout.txt echo "To: $a" >> ./messageout.txt" echo "" >> ./messageout.txt" cat ./message.txt >> ./messageout.txt # send message cat ./messageout.txt | /usr/lib/sendmail -f $fromaddress $a # traffic control sleep 3 done -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
