Hi Mutts, I've searched the wiki and the mailing list archive but I can't find anything about using mutt as a command-line bulk mailer.
First of all, if there's another *nix mailer that's easily scriptable and better suited than mutt for this purpose, I'd love to know about it. That said, I need to send to approximately one thousand addresses (from the command line) and I'm thinking of writing a script that reads the addresses from a flat file and calls mutt to Bcc them in batches of fifty or so. (Batch size determined by the maximum command length permitted by the OS). /bin/echo -e <body> | \ /usr/bin/mutt -n -F ./.muttrc \ -s <subject> -b <address-1> \ -b <address-2> \ . . -b <adress-50> \ -- "" Am I completely mad to even consider doing it this way? I need a quick scriptable solution and all the alternative bulk mailers I've looked at are either full-featured mailing list managers or bulk mailers with fancy GUIs and no command line interface. Similarly, Perl's Email::Blaster, whilst obviously scriptable, is sheer overkill. Any help very much appreciated (especially mutt advice/suggestions). Sebastian
