I know of two ways to send mail to a list of people.

Method #1

Make up a list of the logins, ie;
login1
login2
login3
pbhya!login4

Then use the command; `mail `cat list` 
or to mail a document; mail `cat list` <filename

Method #2

Make an executable file that has the following info;
mail login1 login2 login3 pbhya!login4

Note: You can send mail to users in several systems, if you indicate
the complete path in your file.
