Sending mail to multiple recipient added in a text file
I am trying to find a code that can help me mail to a list of recipients which are in a text file.

Sample code
Code:
$cat recipient.txt
me@test.com
me1@test.com
me2@test.com

I want a mailx step that can read contents of recipient.txt and mail to all the users.

I don't want to use mails coded as a part of script. mails should be in text file

Code:
xemails="cameron@SomeDomain.com,someoneelse@SomeDomain.com"
#
function SendEmail {

  xsub="Some Subject Of Your Choosing."
  mail -s "$xsub" $xemails < $1

}  ## End-of-function SendEmail

Code:
dest=$(cat email_names.txt | tr -s '\n' ' ' )
xsub="foo"
mailx -s "$xsub" $dest

Note the email addresses should NOT be comma-delimited. mailx is front end for sendmail.
