PHP could perform this function, assuming you want to use a web page to
generate the E-mail each time. Did you look at mail functions?
<http://www.php.net/manual/ref.mail.php>
Do something like ... (pseudo-code):
SELECT EMail from MailingList;
foreach (of the results)
mail ($Result["EMail"], $Subject, $Message);
