Bulk Mailing

[voLdie]

Any suggestions for sending mass cold mail as far as services or things i can setup my self. Plenty of Nix* experience just wanted to know if there were any providers resistant to complaints or blacklisting.

You're talking about setting something up yourself and then are talking about providers resistant to blacklisting. I don't think you'll find anything too willing to ignore complaints unless you find providers overseas in the more black hat communities and rent their time. But as far as setting it up yourself, it sounds like your best bet would be Sendy, which lets you connect to Amazon AWS and sets up most of it for you too. Then it'll be a matter of being a good boy until you get your rate limiting increased. Sendy will continually clean your lists too so you don't end up getting banned. Amazon has the best deliverability too. I don't know a ton about mailing in bulk, but that's what I'd recommend from where I'm at.

Thanks man! Am I able to play with the from: addy in the headers or do you think Amazon would be angry quickly?

You can change them in Sendy per campaign and per "business," but you'll also have to pre-validate them in Amazon SES first. You won't be able to randomize it or get too wild.
