| Why not use the bcc field? Each individual gets their own copy of the email. I use mailman for a list as well, but it sounds like this is one way communication, not back and forth mailing list traffic.

Exactly. If that's the only complaint I'd hesitate to go with mailman. It's going to add a lot of server overhead and such for no really good reason.
