I think that would work best. The logic could look like:
if [ mailfile ]; then
while [ addresses ]; do
send mail to top addresslist
remove top addresslist
done
remove mail
fi
Then it's just a matter of cp'ing the mail and address files into place
one time. Unless you have the complication of trying to send a second
mail while the first is still in process.
