Per "Create your own MailChimp clone for $5 a month with Sendy" | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9151487

The Sendy codebase is horrifying. [...]Just lots and lots of rough PHP _vs_ This isn't software to be used for analysis. Sendy is f-in awesome!

Amazon SES rocks from a pricing standpoint but deliverability isn't its strong suit _vs_ I find no difference between SES and MailChimp regarding delivery

I would stick with Sendy, but I could never get the unsubscribe links to work _vs_ there is a version 2 of Sendy, which appears to fix all these problems

lighter version of Mailchimp and super cheap [...] Configuration is a bit painful

I have been using it for almost 1.5 years and really like it.

if you are taking all the trouble to install Sendy you should look at Mandrill (2 years go) _vs_ Major changes to Mandrill, must be tied to a MailChimp account (1 year ago) | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11170713

Also self-hosted: https://github.com/bevacqua/campaign | http://directmailmac.com ($100)
