i should do something, sometime, maybe with someone. I have a working
bulk email system that is in use at a number of sites, some doe 50 000
mails in 30 minutes trouble is that I need to compile the system into a more 
portable format so that someone can more easily install it on a server (or at
anywhere) 

anyway, afaik mailchimp allows anyone to send around 12k emails
monthly, for free? Even if it is less it should be enough for your
requirement?

And, sending from reply to at gmail is not an issue with mailchimp, afaik
they use a bounce @valid-spf and a reply to @wherever
