[Mailman-Users] mailman as bulk mailer.. variables in body?

I'm going to try and use Mailman as a bulk mailer, to send out only about
250k Emails..

The difficult part is, I need to use dynamic information in each
recipients message.. The E-mail address that the message is sent to, needs
to be referenced in the body, like:

To: mailman-users at python.org
"Dear mailman-users at python.org, thanks for reading my babbling"

To: mailman-developers at python.org
"Dear mailman-developers at python.org, thanks for reading my babbling"


I figured since this is a one time use, perhaps there is an attribute in
the footer/header section I could use.. and just make the entire bulk
message, a big footer, and use %(_email_addy) or something.. Any ideas?

Does anyone have a preferred method of sending dynamic spam out? (And just
so everyone knows, it's not really spam, it's a newsletter our customers
signed up for)
