Or just put the addrs on the sendmail line:
scriptname | /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi addr1 addr2 ...
and drop the -t. Depends how you want the mail to look. With -t, the
addrs come from the headers. Without you can put whatever you like as
the To: in the headers. The latter is how many UNIX mailers dispatch
their email, which is why you can have a personal alias and have it
survive in the To: line (not that I recommend that - that generally is
meaningless to the recipient and often acquires the target domain
during reception - generally undesirable).
