Depends on the tools you have to work with.  I did this with over 2,000 lists several times.  I generate an e-mail job to GET all the lists.  After they all arrive, I  move all these replies into a singe EUDORA mailbox.  Then I edit this mailbox with a standard text editor, treating it as a single long file.  In my case, on a Mac, I use BBEDIT.  I change the PW=XXXXXXX to the correct password and do any other mass changes.  Then I run a small applescript program that tells Eudora to reply to each of these messages.

A bit convoluted, I admit, but it works once you get all the tools in place.

Not sure how to do it on Windows or other platforms.  There must be similar tools available
