I'm not why you couldn't give volunteers, etc. a server to send from and
add that IP to your trusted senders for the domain that they use
(assuming they're using one of your domains for their email address).
Andrew suggested giving them Google apps accounts. I think it's a great
solution--it allows people to use gmail or pretty much any mail client
they want.
Volunteers don't have @wikimedia.org addresses...
Moreover, I expect Ops to know which
wikimedia.org emails are valid, so
they could in theory send a mass mail alerting of an upcomin change,
although I expect anyone with that email would be in internal-l.
Posts going to a mailing list through gmane could be a problem though,
since the mail goes user -> gmane -> mchenry -> distribution.
