How to send an email to a LARGE list?

[biffer123]

Hey everyone,

Recently I have gathered a large email list of people I would like to send an email to (think around 1m)
I am just wondering what is the best solution for this, they are not a subscriber or opt in list, they're scraped details (all legal etc)

Budget / quality wise what is the best option?

Any input appreciated

Sendgrid, Mailgun, I use both and they work very nicely. Direct into the inbox (had very low spammed)

Cheapest and best sending quality combo is to use amazon ses and sendy or mailwhizz.

Don`t use own SMTP as it can be so powerful and after few hundreds or k of emails all will go spam or shadowed.

There are many ways to get it done.
1. ESP service.
2. Personal SMTP server with PowerMTA.
3. PMTA relay through free esp.
4. Self host Single IP blast.
And many more.
Remember you must clean list with any service.

Do they allow to upload scraped email list? Bounch rate will be high so account will get suspended?

Is this relatively simple to set up?

Really looking for the easiest experience (for me), highest quality (look of email & not hitting spam folders) & reasonable pricing. I'm pretty inexperienced with sending emails unless it's to an opted in list so if there is any service that can take care of it all for me that is ideal

Amazon ses is the cheapest smtp delivery service. While mail whizz and sendy is a good email platform for bulk mailing. I won't advise you to use your own smtp server as it will take ages for your ip to be warm up.

Take note that amazon ses has mail sending limit and would only be increase once they understand your sending habits aka email bounce rate.

From reading your post I doubt you would clean your scrapped database. Be prepared to have many bounces and email ending up in junk folder.

Email cleaning is important. Without clean date, you can have the best email sending system and yet email still lands in junk folder.

Could you explain a bit more about email cleaning and a clean date?

Amazon SES is the cheapest and also more reliable

It's really hard and all ESPs are fighting extremely for not hitting spam folders.
If your list is scrubbed and not opt in you should consult a Server level Person first.
Separating Domains helps a lot saving costs at this point.

I actually send it using my server (smtp of mailgun and sendgrid). The bounce rate is quite low actually. You just have to be smart when they ask you. I provided some proofs on how i "got" my email list and they accepted it.
