I would agree with Fred. Beyond the technical - the approach does not make sense to me in general because you are trying to automatically spam those boards.
Fundamentally, I would focus on how to drive more traffic to your site. Maybe talking to the other boards and agreeing to share jobs is a better approach. Of course they have to see value in what you are offering. From a quick look boards like indeed, craigslist need payment to post a job - which makes sense if they have access as the meta-job search tool lots of people use. As an employer I would be more likely to pay a board as I have a real need and a deadline vs a free board - just my feel.
