If it's an alias to all then make sure you BCC the alias and configure your
mail server to not include a delivered-to field with the address.
In either case (script sending to everyone or alias) it will take huge
amounts of time to deliver, which is why I wrote maildir-bulletin.
Delivering to 1000 users on a slowish machine can take 30 minutes. The same
machine running maildir-bulletin can do it in well under a minute.
