We are currently stuck at the step of mapping out how we originate mail for the whitelist. Production and Google Apps mail are easy. But people say we may have volunteers, board members, etc. who do not use our known mail routes.
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.
