It does seem like the python solution is going to be too labor intensive. As with many such issues I thought it would be a fun challenge to see if I could get it to work. : )

You probably could, but there is another way. Python does not have Outlook's limitations so, if you only need the distro lists for announcements - or even as a mail relay - you could use Python's native email libraries. Build a simple config/admin UI of your own and then use Python to send out messages - which could be text files. Or use Python (or indeed mailman or any other email list handler) as a relay so you send a mail to the relay and have it send the mail out to as many people as you want. That way you avoid Outlook's limits and all you need is an SMTP relay host. (You could even install sendmail or such to do that if you wanted)

And all for free...apart from the cost of administering it of course...
