Newsletter ... SPAM ... all the same as far as sending techniques go. . .

Well, if you want the mail to "look" like it was intended for the
recipient, having each message "personalized" is a must.  Ideally, you
only have one addy in the To: for each, if you don't mind the SMTP load.
David's solution above (and mine, too) do just that.  "Bcc"ing doesn't
really do the trick, although it saves much SMTP traffic on your end.
