You don't need a mailing list manager.
You have a text file with all your valid addresses, simply write a small
script to parse through the file and BCC all the folks in that list (or
actually send it TO each person - one at a time).
You could use ~mailman/bin/sync_members to sync up a Mailman ma

After sensing a change in the lists you could use the

You want each mail that goes out to list the individual user in the To:

This is only possible with Mailman version 2.1. You would need to

You could always front-end your mailing list aliases with a procmail

Send an email to one of your lists: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will get back a message from Mailman detailing most of the email
