I'd be willing to work with you on this Stirling if you are interested. Sounds like a good project for ZAP. It already can handle uploads quite flexibly, do emails, has maillists/groups and has an encoding/decoding scheme that can be tapped into. It would probably take a custom extension or two--but they are easy to write. And perhaps some other things. But I'd be happy to help if you'd like to give it a try. I know there are a few security issues about ZAP right now--but hopefully I can get those nailed down very soon. Maybe tomorrow...
