Currently, the To: will be each recipient's email address. There is
no BCC list.
You can hard-code the Reply-To: and From: to be whatever you like.
In some cases, with announcements, you do not want the author's email
address visible in the message (either from or reply-to), but rather
some generic address, such as kermit@columbia.edu
As mentioned previously, Lyris (in the next version) will allow you
to leave To: untouched, or rewrite to the recipient's address, or
rewrite it with the text you specify. In the current version, To: is
always the recipient's address.

You can define a list as post-by-list-admin-only. Also, you can bulk
import recipients into Lyris using a database program (MS Access,
for example), or use a supplied program import program, or by writing
your own shim using our Lyris/Perl toolkit, or by using the web
interface.
