Hi,
For a one-time email blast to such a large list, your best bet is to use a dedicated SMTP server with a fresh domain and IP that’s not flagged yet. You can:
- Set up your own SMTP/VPS – For example, use a provider like Contabo or Hetzner, configure Postfix/Exim, and warm up the IP slightly (even a few test sends can help).
- Use transactional mail services that allow high volume – Providers like Mailgun or SendGrid usually block spam-like behavior, so you’d likely need a more flexible bulk provider.
- Specialized bulk email services – Some services like MailWizz (self-hosted) + PowerMTA or MailerQ on a VPS give you full control.
Since domain reputation doesn’t matter for you afterwards, just register a new domain (preferably with a reputable registrar), set up correct
SPF, DKIM, DMARC records to avoid instant spam filters, and send through a clean IP.
