With 75,000 mails per month you may want to consider a small VPS.

What about a service? I'm sending out 60,000+ emails in one day once each month and trying to go through the logs to figure out why yahoo didn't like it or why some email service in Europe had a problem is a pain.
www.smtp.com seems like something along the lines of what I'd like, are there any services like that that are a bit cheaper?

if these 60,000+ emails are part of marketing campaign, newsletters and such, consider using specialized services such as mailchimp.com.
when sending this amount of certain type emails, there are strict rules about email content and delivery methods you need to use in order to successfully deliver and not to get blocked by yahoo and others..

In this case I'm actually sending to customers who have downloaded and registered a product that requires email to function so I'm not too concerned with being flagged as spam (the emails contain a link for people to cancel their service if they so desire and the rest of that).
Part of the problem is throttling due to the large volume that we send out on specific days, and part due to just not having all the stuff setup properly for an SMTP server, and part not wanting to have to deal with all the spam if I did set up an SMPT server. I'd rather just work with a service that deals with all that stuff.
