lots of opinions here, but you know..everyone has one right... we currently run our own mail server, we started in 1998 and have had ours running non-stop since. Its worth it to do yourself and is not that hard. Just keep track of your bounces and check some to see if they were bounced due to blacklisting, get it unlisted then fix what caused the blacklisting. google,yahoo and others will soon be using DMARC for mail auth, just add it and the others, simple. good servers at leaseweb, ours is in the Netherlands. but you will only need 1 server, just get a good processor lots of RAM and fast hard drives in your server. Also don't get list software that just blasts it all out as fast as possible, get one where you can meter it, ours is set to 13,000 an hour. it takes along time to send but multiple lists, send them 6-12 hours apart at around 13,000 an hour and you should be good.

Any solid advice from the community would be appreciated.
