For clarity

The toaddreses don't show in the email,  they are the envelope TO:
addreses.   The addresses in the email's TO: Headers are shown to the
recipient and these are the ones that should be "disguised" as best
practice for mailing lists.

The email module's replace_header('to', 'new-text) will do the job for you.
