Automated or manual? If you want automated, do it through the sendmany RPC command in any recent version of the Satoshi client. If you want to do it by hand, the GUI in Bitcoin-Qt can do that on the send payment page.

Manual for now - so your saying the desktop top bitcoin has a send payment page to drop in a bunch of payment address's?

Hmm.. Well, from what it sounds like you're trying to do, perhaps the sendmany RPC might be better if you just have a list of addresses and they're supposed to get the same amount.

Yes, with bitcoin-qt.

click Send coins tab, then after entering the first address and amount, click the green + for "Add recipient".  Repeat as necessary.

Also, there is a commercial service (0.0005 per recipient):
 - http://www.btcrelay.com

There is an API for it as well.
