Bevan, It probably doesn't matter if the boucebacks come into the inbox. The account is only ever to be used for this mailshot so it will help us to know which addressess in our database are incorrect so we can contact the members by post .
As for your last point I don't really understand what you mean about the IP address not being associated with the domain - or more importantly how to prevent the issue. Currently we simply manually send three emails each month directly from the gmail web site, each with lots of bcc . I simply want to do the same thing, or at least achieve the same effect, from my application.
