That would effectively sending one separate mail to each
recipient, without giving you the full benefit of being able to
identify each in case of bounces.
I'd recommend using mailing list processing software (ezmlm on
qmail is especially handy, or majordomo) for the task - it is in
fact written for just this, and makes your life so much easier.
If someone insists in reinventing wheels, well, Monty Python has
a nice sketch on the topic :-)
