I have a question about using distribution lists in
UNIX mail (mail/sendmail).

I have a list of about 20 people (addresses) in a file.

I would like to send mail to all of them via this file.

In VMS Mail, at the To: prompt you can give a file of
addresses by saying @filename

The receipient will see only @filename for the To: field
of the mail. I would like to do the same thing with UNIX
mail. Basically, provide a distribution list, and not
have all the receipents listed in the received mail.
