Ask HN: I have tens of thousands of subscribers – how do I send a newsletter?

A few months ago, I put a "Sign up for my newsletter" form on my website. When someone entered their email, I simply stored the mail, sent a "Thanks for signing up" email via PHP's built-in mailer and did nothing else.

Now there are tens of thousands of subscribers. I got some opt-outs which I manually deleted. And a few hundred bounces, which are still in my inbox.

What is the best way to send out a newsletter now? I think I will need some service that I can:

1: Import the mails

2: Import the bounces so they get analyzed and removed from the list.

What is a good service for that? Or should I use some open source software that I host myself?
