SendEmail - Script reading database file with sleep command

Hello,
I would like to send email message to my mail list.
I have been running linux based server and I submitted this process manually up to now.
I would like to send each individual with a shell script.

In ssh panel, I tested below command and it works smoothly.

Code:
sendEmail -t member1@hotmail.com -f myemail@mail.com -u Hello There! < /var/log/body.txt

I created all ssh lines for each member and put them into a ssh file, then run the script. Here it is:

sendmail.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sendEmail -t member1@hotmail.com -f myemail@mail.com -u Hello There! < /var/log/body.txt &
sleep 5
sendEmail -t member2@hotmail.com -f myemail@mail.com -u Hello There! < /var/log/body.txt &
sleep 5
sendEmail -t member3@hotmail.com -f myemail@mail.com -u Hello There! < /var/log/body.txt &
sleep 5
sendEmail -t member4@hotmail.com -f myemail@mail.com -u Hello There! < /var/log/body.txt &
sleep 5
exit 0

If I do not put "sleep" command in shell script, the server gives error.

In ssh panel:
Code:
./sendmail.sh

My excel file is in below form:

Code:
member1@hotmail.com    Name1    Surname1
member2@hotmail.com    Name2    Surname2
member3@hotmail.com    Name3    Surname3
member4@hotmail.com    Name4    Surname4
member5@hotmail.com    Name5    Surname5

Do not know which file extension should be used instead of excel file.
How can I change above script so that it reads mail-list database file and submit email to each member one by one with five seconds of interval.

Please help me.

Thanks

When the line Mar 15 19:39:40 mailhost sendmail[2178]: TAA02178: from=<foo@hotmail.com>, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=[1.84.7.150] occurs in the input, and there is no line carrying the same queueid, the line is discarded, and reported as skipped: any to- or from- line, lacking any partner, will get discarded. Lines like: Mar 15 13:40:19 firewall sendmail[456]: alias database /etc/aliases.db out of date wil get discarded EXAMPLES
To process a log as produced by sendmail: $ sendmail2dlf < mail.log sendmail2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report: $ lr_log2report sendmail < /var/log/maillog BUGS
When queueids are being reused within one logfile, behaviour is unpredictable. Incomplete logsnippets (e.g. from-lines without to-lines) are not treated well. It is reported events like this occur in sendmail log files: SAA14845: from=<>, size=146990, class=0, pri=176990, nrcpts=1, msgid=<092246.09986@rly-yc03.mx.aol.com>, proto=ESMTP, relay=omr-d06.mx.aol.com [205.188.156.71] SAA14845: to=joe@mailhost, ctladdr=<joe@example.edu>, delay=00:00:01, mailer=local, stat=User unknown SAA14845: to=<joe@example.edu>, delay=00:00:01, mailer=local, stat=User unknown SAA14845: SAA14846: postmaster notify: User unknown SAA14846: to="|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail", ctladdr=ann@mailhost (2217/10), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=Sent SAA14846: to=bob@imap-ns, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, relay=apex.example.edu. [152.19.4.80], stat=Sent (Message received: GVV8N400.CMX) SAA14846: to=eve@mailhost, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent Note that SAA14845 has _two_ final to= lines, while the from= line states nrcpts=1. This blows the axiom of this script away. We haven't decided yet on how to deal with this... THANKS
