This does exist, but unfortunately does a 1-to-many distribution.  I need a
1-to-1 distribution that cycles through a list of recipients, so the first
message goes to the first recipient, the next message to the next
recipient, and so forth.

Probably not. I could use perl to read the message as stdin and then just
pass it to elm or mailx, keeping track of who the next recipient should be.
