Why not use procmail in a situation like this?  Just pump it through
a .procmailrc in your aliases file:

   listname:"|/usr/lib/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000 -l listname -f listname-owner -s listname-outgoing",|"/usr/bin/procmail -m /usr/lib/mail/replies/procmailrc.listname"

And then your procmailrc.listname would look like this:

  $HOME=/usr/lib/mail/replies

  :0 h
  * !^FROM_DAEMON
  * !^X-Loop: owner-listname@domain.com
  | (formail -r -A"Precedence: bulk" \
     -A"X-Loop: owner-listname@domain.com" \
     -A"From: owner-listname@domain.com" ;\
     cat "$HOME/listname.reply") | $SENDMAIL -t -f owner-listname@domain.com

listname.reply would contain your message to send out.
