Please be more careful, when you describe problems.
You mean "Mailhost" rather than "HostMail".

You pass the "To" information inside the message as a "To" header:

<dtml-sendmail mailhost=...>
To: <dtml-var expr="'address1, address2, ...'">
From: ...
Subject: ...

....
</dtml-sendmail>

Note, that the mail headers must start in column 1!


Now to the second part of your problem: how to get the list
of email addresses:

  I can give you only a partial answer (because I am too lazy to
  look up the required details).

  I expect, "portal_membership" has a method to return the list
  of members. Say, it would be "getMembers" (may have a different name,
  use e.g. "DocFinder" to find it out).

  Then you could use something like:

       <dtml-var expr="','.join([m.email for m in portal_membership.getMembers() if m.email])">

The "[...]" is a so called list generator. You find details in the Python
documentation.
