Hmm. That makes for a *VERY* long line *8-() I guess I should
have the script build the recipient list like so for simplicity:
BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The interesting thing is that even though InterMail batches 40-100
recipients per message, the message store only keeps one copy of the
message (for local deliveries) and all recipients get a link to it
**PROVIDIING** the message-id is the same for each message.

I actually tested for that before sending the original message. I
only mentioned the requirement because the goal is to simplify the mail
out process (most/all recipients are on the InterMail system). The setup
is actually time consuming compared with what would be required with
Qmail, so I'd like to set up a Linux box with Qmail as the MTA because the
setup would require much less handling.
Thanks for the response.
