Not to rain on the parade, but in my experience, having had to email customers in bulk .. sending tickets and logistics requirements for large events .. I can tell you that self hosting this is a complete and utter waste of time.

You'll get blocked before the first batch of emails leave your mailer.

Not even paid MailChimp or Campaign Monitor could guarantee delivery.

The problem is not the platform for sending email, it's the centralised nature of email hosting, much of it is behind Google and Microsoft hosted services.

I'm not sure why you think this way? This is for managing newsletters - he's not sending directly from this tool.
smtp and ses and sendgrid are used for actual mailing.

The open-source alternative to Mailchimp, Brevo, Mailjet, Listmonk, Mailerlite, and Klaviyo, Loop.so, etc.

That's the first paragraph of the project page.

I'm not sure I'm following your point. This tool is not sending emails from non warmed up ips. you supposed to be using a provider.
I've used many esp over the years and they all just use ses or mailgun or postmark under the hood. There is no difference from this tool

SMTP is how emails are sent between mailservers too

Looks like autocorrect got you on the title

Dammit, just got a new keyboard on my phone and it's annoying.

Hey this is super nice.
How long was this tool around?
How does it compare to mautic?

Is there a company behind it that will support this?
