Doing this requires the use of Mail-Merge technology.  This requires the use
of
our LSMTP 1.1b SMTP mailer program and you must use a different method of
sending the messages (messages are actually sent as a list-based DISTRIBUTE
MAIL-MERGE command job)  This can be used only for one-way or announcement
style
lists.  It will not work for discussion style lists.
