Gmail's SMTP has a limit of 100 recipients per single message, max 500 different recipients per day. A large number of undeliverable messages will get you in trouble regardless of the limits. In case of a ban, the account gets locked for 24h.
Yahoo has similar limitations as Gmail. Hotmail used to have a 100 recipients per day limit and Outlook.com has this at appx. 300 per day now - it varies according to the account age, etc.. I'm pretty sure all mentioned providers take such factors into account. So a completely new account might get locked up much faster than on that is years old. Lamps902, one can customize "from", "reply-to" etc. regardless of the SMTP server used - so no need to actually use your domain with gmail, for example. You just need a working SMTP... A little bit of additional code could also enable web2py to rotate between several SMTP servers, according to some simple rules... Anyway, I would recommend a private, well administered SMTP instead. Much less hassle. In the GNU/linux world, having an ability to send mail locally is practically a given thing - most of the distributions have this functionality out of the box by using the ubiquitous sendmail. Even if it isn't actually sendmail anymore, the functionality is there (together with the symlink named "sendmail"). In web2py, you should be able to simply use localhost:25 as SMTP (might need additional authentication, might not. It depends...). Not quite independent of the system used, but there it is...
