I am currently working on a Google App Engine based CRM app, which now has a preview of this feature : Bulk-email, using email-templates..

The app is not open-source - but free with resource restrictions and ads. Custom deployments are available for as low as $99/year (yes, per year), which enables you to use the free quota (upto 2000 emails / day) and purchase additional resources as required directly from Google.
Works with Google / Google Apps accounts.
