I have a community website and would like to start publishing a newsletter. It is on a dedicated server, with an double opt-in so the emails that would be going out are verified. Ip is whitelisted, spf record, dns etc...

does anyone have a solution they are happy with?

I am familiar with 1 shopping cart, aweber, constant contact etc. they are good solutions but can get kind of pricey if you send out a lot of emails. perhaps this is the way to go?

Does anyone use a server side solution that handles hard and soft bounce backs? do you have good delivery with these options. thanks in advance
