See below, I commented the code which is just redundant and can be safely removed (auth_user/auth_password will anyway be fetched from settings later inside send_mass_mail)

Easy wrapper for sending a single message to a recipient list. All members
of the recipient list will see the other recipients in the 'To' field.
