Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but what's wrong with having an alias file of this kind of content and the source it on .muttrc:
alias mailinglist1 New List \ <email address 1>,\ <email address 2>,\ . . . <email address n>,\ <my own address> I'm sure we can write some kind of poor man's python script or shell/sed/awk script to add or remove address from this. You can then invoke this on the BCC field. Is this some sort of a performance problem? If so, that's not the fault of mutt but of $sendmail you're using, since that's what's handling it. But I serious doubt that a few hundred email can choke, say, postfix on a decently powerful machine. Let me know what I'm missing here.
