Yes and (very slightly) no
A ValueList does make a comma separates list, and in CFMail it will appear
as the list of emails, but without the space after the commas
Also, some SMTP servers don't like commas between emails, so you should put
semi-colons instead
Now, under CF4 (not sure about CF4.5) you could only send a CFMail to 40
recipients, also, you usually don't want everybody knowing who else got the
email, so I would say to loop through the query and send an individual email
to each person singly - more stress for the email server, but you're
guaranteed that it'll hit everyone and without them knowing the rest of the
list
Hope this answers
