   Aha. I guess you are observing the White House.

   1. Have all those addresses in one address book or one group. 

   2. Give your distribution list a name which is neither the name of
an address book or a group, otherwise addressing to these would add
all those addresses into the message at compose time. 

   3. Define a filter with the action "distribute to address book" or
"distribute to group" and which is triggered by your distribution
list's name in the H.TO field (h.to = "MyDistribution"). This will
result in sending out individual messages to each address in the book
or group. 

   
   Take care you have an ISP which does not impose a limit on the
number of messages sent per day.
