In the report caster's api there are also built-in features for maintaining distribution lists. So you could run the fex that produces the email adresses, run the part of the api that allows you to update distribution lists, using the output just created, and last run the actual distribution fex using the list you just maintained. That should solve your problem. Exactly how to use these api-parts can be found in the manual or help-files.

Y have to create a small FEX (in the public domain) that looks like this

TABLE FILE MAILADRESSES
PRINT
CLIENTID  AS 'VALUE'
     EMAILFIELD AS 'DEST'
WHERE CLIENTID  EQ 'whatever';
ON TABLE PCHOLD
END


This creates a kind of XML file that is the source of your email adresses to be used in RC
