What hosting configuration would be required for this?
I want to set up a newsletter site that might possibly
send out 250,000+ emails/newsletters a day or more.
What do I need to have for a hosting config. to set this up?
Would I need a dedicated email server?
How much would this cost and where can I get it?
I'd also like to offer some people the option being thier
bulk emailer.... that is, they give me the message to send out
and the email list... and then I send it out. So the email
count could go higher...
Thanks in advance.

The first thing that springs to mind is not the hardware but the spam issue. I'm not saying at all that the emails you will be sending out are spam but considering the amount you are sending, it makes it hard to see them being all opt-in.
The other issue you face is finding a DC that will allow you to use a server to send out that many emails. I know for a fact that Server Matrix for example will not allow you...
You would need a dedicated box and email server as no host will set you up on a shared basis with that sort of requirement...
