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.

#Irony
#Nationwide #BuildingSociety sent me a #letter stating they couldn't contact me by #email. Apparently they've been asking me to go #paperless.
1. I've been #paperless for #years
2. I have no problem #reading their #emails
3. I've #downloaded all my statements
4. They sent a #bulkmail reminder to goodness knows how many #customers (#paper, 'envelope, #printing) inc. those using #electronic #statements

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?
