I have a web app that is currently sending roughly 1000 emails a day. I'm wondering if it's possible to switch to Gmail's SMTP server for this to hopefully iron out any issues with deliverability.
Do they allow for this amount of usage a day?

A:
No.
They have a much shorter limit.
As a side note, do try postfix if you're relying on sendmail. Should speed up things considerably.

I'm really looking for an outside service so I don't have to worry about white/blacklisting, etc. etc. etc. Checked out `sendgrid` but not sure if I want to cough up the $80/mo yet. Do you know of any alternatives?

@Ian Silber I'm not the one saying this but... with the low RAM a postfix machine needs you can buy a linode, slicehost, whatever and use them as external mail servers for as low as $20/usd a month.

To expand on Frankie's answer, Gmail's sending limits are the following:
- 100 recipients at a time
- 500 recipients a day
