I use Gmail. Tried Mail Chimp with too many spam reports from established clients and MC got nasty about it.

gmail, but honestly not sending batch emails to people who have not subscribed is what gets you blacklisted.  If enough people mark it as spam it doesn't matter who your provider is.  I was hacked once and blacklisted.  Shut down my outgoing emails for three days.  Nightmare, so always have a back up.

I Googled 'best software for bulk emailing' and got pages of entries. The link above is for free ones but I suspect you're going to need a paid service to avoid ads, customize etc.

I've used Go-Daddy for years for my email server. As for mass marketing, don't really do it on such a huge scale and what I do goes through my Market Leader account.

Google will likely shut you down if you send out 5k emails a day.  They limit how many you can put in a single email as well.

 

GoDaddy has a limit to how many you can send as well, but you can buy more outgoing emails.

 

I report all spam emails to the service providers and blacklists.

G-suite is who I would use - they are used to handling bulk mail and I've heard that many use them for bulk emails Raj Banerjee Walkable Living.

I have to say though, Tammy Lankford, is 100% correct - only send them to those who have registered and don't inundate them with emails.

Have never done a mass emailing, so many of our prospects do not have email, or at least they dont share it.
