sample file that contains mail addresses
MailList.txt
mail1@abc.com,mail2@abc.com

sending mail with mailx:
mailx -s "TestMail" `cat MailList.txt` < "message body (usually file)"
or
echo "Message Body" | mailx -s "TestMail" `cat MailList.txt`


sending mail with mutt:
mutt -s "TestMail" `cat MailList.txt` < "message body (usually file)"
or
echo "Message Body" | mutt -s "TestMail" `cat MailList.txt`
