[Eug-lug] Sending email to a list

One of our vendors has issued a safety recall on one of their components
and we are attempting to contact all those who might have that on their
bikes.
The Plan is to email everyone and those that don't respond or indicate
receipt of the message will be sent an (expensive) certified letter.
I can build the list no problem, and write the addy's to a text file.
What I don't know how to do is iterate through the list, retrieve each
line's email addy from the file, and then send the mail with these
parameters:
-Return Receipt requested
-an email address that would be different than what I'm currently logged
in as i.e. 'spoof' the address to be something like
'safety at bikefriday.com' rather than 'root' or whatever
-BCC to myself
Looking at phpMailer I think I could get close, but don't see a Return
Receipt option, nor do I know how to get in/out of the text file.
This is *just* beyond my php skills and I'm sure I could figure it out
eventually...
Can someone tell me if:
a) given my limited linux skills, that phpMailer is a decent way to go
b) if phpMailer supports Return Receipt requests and I'm just not seeing it
b) how to retrieve a line from a text file.
Thanks,
