How about using using aliases?  It works beautifully for smaller lists. 
I've never used 400, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

If you have a comma delimited list of addresses, you could just paste
them into /etc/aliases in this form:

alias_name: name at address1.com, name at address2.com, ...

You must run "newaliases" after you edit the file, then just send one
email to aliases at yourmailhost and all the defined addresses get it.

man aliases
