how about this:

from Cheetah.Template import Template
import smtplib

mailer =3D smtplib.SMTP('mydomain.com')
emailTemplate =3D Template (source=3Dopen('massMailer.txt').read())
emailAddresses =3D [...] # long list of emails
aDict =3D {}
emailTemplate.addToSearchList(aDict)
for email in emailAddresses:
     aDict['EmailAddress'] =3D email
     mailer.sendmail('me...@my...', email, str(emailTemplate))
