Ask HN: Self-Hosted Mailchimp Alternative that you Use?

8 points·altsyset··9 comments

I want to send some emails to my customers and MailChimp is annoying me in so many ways. What are some self-hosted alternatives that I can set up myself?

Sendy is a popular self-hosted alternative: https://sendy.co

Thanks. Looking into this right now

AWS has a bulk/templating mail option that might be more like what you were hoping for.

My concern about truly self-hosting this would be my sender reputation - you might find you end up in more junk mail boxes compared to using a service like SES.

Thanks man. Sender reputation is something I worry about. But half my clients get the email I send them using a simple phone script already. So I'm hopeful that is a good indicator.

Not self-hosted, but less annoying than MailChimp - TinyLetter. It is a MailChimp company, but TinyLetter has fewer features, I found it more friendly for simply emails sending.

Most of the time less features is preferable

I recently signed up for MailChimp, and I am still learning the interface.

I am curious what parts of the service annoy you?

You can get around with the interface I guess. But, if you collected emails by some other means other than their widget it just complaint non stop. I think it has with all the new regulations.

Looking for this as well. Something with a good template editor and that works with any SMTP service?
