Is there a way to send to a mailing list from my own server?

3 points by waspight ↗ HN
Is it possible these days to send emails from my backend server directly? I am worried about that the emails would not get through to the receiver. My use case would be to maintain my mailing list without having to share all emails with a service like mailchimp, which could be an issue due to gdpr.

It is certainly possible, although you have to deal with the reputation of your server's current IP addresses.

If you don't want to deal with that, you can still run the list yourself and just smarthost through a legitimate email provider. If you're afraid of leaking addresses, just find one that does short term or no logging.
