Smtp dual delivery script

Hello Peoples,

I have a problem wrapping my head around a script that I modified, essentially it uses the postfix smtp line in master.cf to send out a message to two or more email servers, It is a nice way to test different email servers and platforms. Problem with the original script is that it did not handle multiple recipients properly, I got that to work but now the code is all messed up, messages put in that queue sequence don't delete themselves and I feel that the use of getopt could shrink this script to 50 ish lines but I can't figure out how.
Original Script can be found on pjrlost blogspot canada (cant post links yet)
my modded script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

MSMTP="/usr/bin/msmtp"
TMPDIR="/var/tmp/smtpdd"
TMPFILENAME="mailqfile.$RANDOM.`date +%s`.$$"
LOCKFILE="$1/.smtpdd.lck"

EX_TEMPFAIL=75

printUsage()
{
    echo "Usage: `basename $0` queue-directory sender recipient hostname|ip:port:mode [hostname|ip:port:mode ...]"
    echo "     : `basename $0` queue-directory qrun";
    echo "Where mode is q for queuing delivery, d for just drop it or o to just queue the mail - defaults to q"
}

attemptDelivery()
{
    qd=$1
    mail=$2
    host=`basename $1`
    
    from=`cat $mail|cut -f 1 -d " "`
    to=`cat $mail|cut -f 2 -d " "`
    
    hostname=`echo $host|cut -f 1 -d :`
    port=`echo $host|cut -f 2 -d :`
    
    if [ ! -f $mail.body ]
    then
        echo "Cannot delivery mail, mail body is missing"
        exit $EX_TEMPFAIL
    fi
    
    #echo "attmpting delivery of $2 from $1 as $from and $to to host $hostname with port $port"
    $MSMTP --host $hostname --port $port -f $from $to < $mail.body
    if [ $? == 0 ]
    then
        echo "Message delivered, deleting"
        rm -f $mail $mail.body
    else
        echo "Message delivery failed, leaving in place"
    fi
