You have a machine that's running an SMTP server or something that can be used as a smarthost, right? This machine could be used for this. Have a text file called listofmails.txt that had 1 mailing address per line. Then put the mail you'd like to send in mailtosend.txt. Then:

for i in `cat listofmails.txt` ; do
   mail -s 'A SUBJECT' $i < mailtosend.txt
   done

Of course, this assumes you have a machine where the mail command works, which might not always be the case. If you have to use a different From: address, then this won't work.

listservs can get complicated.
