using perl? try something such as this pseudo pseudocode:
use Net::SMTP;
my $SMTP_SERVER = 'mail.my.server.net.org.not';
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( $SMTP_SERVER );
# here's your "FROM:" email address, whatever you want it to be
$smtp->mail($FROM_ADDR);
# goes to all these, with or without "To:" header
$smtp->to(@SEVERAL_ADDRS);
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend( <<"E-PISTLE" );
To: $PICK_ANY_DEST_ADDR_DOESNT_AFFECT_WHERE_ITS_SENT
Reply-To: $FROM_ADDR
Subject: $SUBJ
Content-Type: text/plain
Here's your stinkin' email.
E-PISTLE
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
of course, tmtowtdi.
