I'm not sure if this is the right place, so if a mod wants to move it please do so.

I'm looking for a way to send bulk emails, lets say 10-20k emails just once. Is there any free software I could use for this? I could also set up my Raspberry Pi for a mail server, however I'm afraid that when I start sending bulk email my IP will get blacklisted. Any suggestions or advice that I could use?
 
Thanks, I will take a look at this :)

Edit: This doesn't have a SMTP server within itself. So I assume it doesn't actually send the email through their servers?
 
There are number of email hosting services which allow to send bulk emails at a time. If you will try to send the emails using your email accounts on the hosting service then it might blacklist your email account as you will send number of emails at-a-time. So it's better to go with the email hosting provider who will fulfil your requirement.
 
I read something about PHPlist, could this be a good way to send the emails? Over my Raspberry Pi?
 
search github for 'mail-in-a-box' drink coffee / do a line of crushed coffee beans and have fun learning about email protocols
 
Not sure to what extent you want to bulk mail.

But I myself would go for a free software, as Strix already said, and then get a SMTP from AWS and a dedicated IP.
Will be the cheapest and best solution imo. Most email smtp providers simply resell the Amazon Services.
 
@curkill : Are you thinking about Amazon SES? If so, he has to request a higher limit for sending mails. If they approve it, the limit would be about 50.000 mails per day.

Yup, getting approved is rather easy though, I have never been denied. Simply state a good reason, write a nice message and you should be approved within 24 hours max.
Plus you get those I think 50-60.000 free monthly emails, so it might be quite nice to start with, for some.
