Sending newsletters in bulk

Full post here. https://rene.seindal.dk/2025/06/17/sending-newsletters-in-bulk/

I have a newsletter — Venetian Stories about the history of Venice — with a couple of hundred recipients.

For some time, I have managed that with a free WordPress plugin. One of those with a PRO version, and every update shifted some functionality over to the paid version.

When I wanted to move the newsletter from my History Walks Venice site to a dedicated domain, there was no way of migrating the plugin data without moving to the PRO version. Several functions I had used for a long time, were no only available for payment.

Confronted with these futile complications, I decided to return to basics.

The newsletters would be sent from my mail application of choice, as HTML emails, with all the recipients in the BCC field.

I need advice from the techies on Mastodon:

I'm using Ghost's blog software for my website. The only integrated option for the native #newsletter tool is #Mailgun.

Sadly, I don't have the know-how to run my own bulk mail server.

Do I best stick with Mailgun or do I go for option two, use a Czech-based #Zapier alternative (Make) that integrates with a German-hosted newsletter service? Or a 3rd option?
