fetchmail would be too much here.
He could just convert the mbox to multiple files, this can be done with
formail/reformail or by one of the mbox to maildir conversion utilities.
then getting the addresses should be simple, except for "nasty"
addresses (those containing punctuation or whatever shell escape
characters). submitting mail via smtp may be safer than executing
sendmail if addresses are not checked strictly.
