Hi,
Not sure if I am in the right section but here goes.

I am looking for a server dedicated or otherwise that will allow me to send 6 million emails per month. We currently use a company to do this but now looking to do it ourselves.

All our data is opt-in and we send in batches of 250K

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,
Personally I would strongly advise you to stay with the 3rd party service for sending this large quantity of emails. Yes, it is possible to setup your own server for this however it will take you years to build the IP Reputation needed for delivery. If you attempt to set this up, over 99% of the emails will be sent straight to spam.

You can use some shared hosting smtp also who allow open relay. We were sending about 10k emails per day using one of our shared hosting account without any issue.

What you want to do is get a server, make sure it's a clean IP, setup your RNDS, spf records etc, then just slowly divert an increasing %age through it instead. Sign up for the feedback loops. In a couple of months you should be fine.
