 Just thought of a Plan C.

 I think if we have a paid account for gmail, you can send up to 2,000 a
 day or more.
 I think the cost for paid account is something like $5/mth per mailbox.  I
 have to double-check what the cost is, but that's what I've done for
 clients I have to send bulk mail for, I buy a domain (we've already got
 foss4g.org) and set gmail as the mail authority.

 So 2 things you get with that

 1. Can have real something at foss4g.org  mailboxes, which you can log into
 using gmail.
 2. Can send way more email (I think the limits are per mailbox)

 I think it's so cheap SAC can pay for it and I can set it up if we are
 okay with the cost.

 For each mailbox you could set up multiple aliases and I think also setup
 mail groups (which would replace the Pair mail group we have right now).

 Alex - you see any issue with that.

 I'm thinking that would also allow easy transfer of contacts/mailboxes
 from year to year foss4g.
