no, that part is correct.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
....
mail ($_POST['sendto'],'Testing', $body, $headers);
echo "Sent to $row[1]<br>";} // <--*
mysql_free_result ($result);
* the values are retrieved and used in the loop, the mail IS going to
the right person.

this is the part that's causing the problem. u can leave it empty and
let the system put the admin's email id. don't leave it incomplete
though.
i agree that there are logical errors regarding the data he's used,
but that's not why it didn't work.
@Robert: u may want to print/echo all the vars for mail() before using
it, helps to debug. check all $POST vars too. this is how i generally
set the headers:
$headers = "From: $fname <$from_email>\n"."Return-Path: $ret"."\n";
i use return path so that bounce messages/delivery failures go to another id.
if u want to add the X-Mailer header:
$headers.= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion()."\n";
(note ^^^ the dot)
if still doesn't work, replace ur \r\n with \n. check manual page for details.
considering that u're possibly mass mailing...

Note: It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable
for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes
an SMTP socket for each email, which is not very efficient.
For the sending of large amounts of email, see the PEAR::Mail, and
PEAR::Mail_Queue packages.

u could also open a pipe to the mail program...
