Email Question - two email addresses

Hello,
I have an email script that runs when a process is complete. I would like to have the email sent to two different email addresses, but it is only sending it to the first one. Can you take a look and see what I need to correct? I thought if I surrounded them with double quotes and separated them with a comma that would work. I don't have sendmail configured so I use telnet. This is an AIX 5.2 system Thank you.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
MAILADDRTO="first@someplace.com,second@someplace.com"
MAILADDRFR=email@mail.com
(sleep 5
echo EHLO
sleep 5
echo MAIL FROM: $MAILADDRFR
sleep 5
echo RCPT TO: $MAILADDRTO
sleep 5
echo DATA
sleep 5
echo From: $MAILADDRFR
echo To: $MAILADDRTO
echo subject: PBS Check File Created
echo
echo The PBS check file is available for download
echo
sleep 5
echo .
sleep 5
echo QUIT
sleep 5) | telnet 00.00.00.00 25

According to google you need to use multiple RCPT lines:
Code:
...
for rcpt in `echo $MAILADDRTO | sed 's/,/ /g'`
do
  echo RCPT TO: $rcpt
  sleep 5
done
...

Scripting a raw telnet to port 25 is monstrously misdirected, though. See if you can install a minimal SMTP client such as Perl with Net::SMTP instead.

Thank you Smiling Dragon for the response. Era, yes you are right. Just laziness on my part.

You can use like this

MAILADDRTO="first@someplace.com\,second@someplace.com\"

it could be works...

It would work like that if you were using regular Sendmail, but this script attempts to speak raw SMTP, which at least per the spec does require a separate RCPT TO: for each recipient address.
