Haiku is an open source reimplementation of the BeOS, its Unix like, it 
has a bash command line but also its own built in GUI (not X based).
You can find out more at www.haiku-os.org and download an ISO of the 
Beta 1 release which will run on most PC hardware or under QEMU etc.

The BeOS/Haiku API is C++ based and that is what MailMistress is written 
in yes its compiled by GCC and has a Makefile. Due to its heavy use of 
the Be API and the fact that it relies on the Be/Haiku built in MUA it 
wouldnt be very feasible to port it to Linux.

I chose Haiku becuase the MUA is unique - it doesnt have a typcial GUI 
it simply periodically downloads mail from an IMAP/POP server into a 
folder. MailMistress gets notified when the contents of this folder is 
updated, processes the incoming message and sends it out via the Haiku 
MUA which talks SMTP to the MTA, hence it works behind NAT etc.
If you're interested in playing about with it the best thing to do would 
be to read the Readme file in the Github repository and see if it sounds 
suitable.

A text file could be used for the recipient addresses yes you would just 
need to write a program in any language you want to read the addresses 
from that text file and pass them to MailMistress as per the 
instructions in the readme - see section 5 'Authentication Program Plug 
in Dont mind assisting you with trying it out if you need help.
