Please help with direct email marketing - reccomend a service

[Omgoozle]

Hi -

Like many people, my business has been decimated by eB's recent changes.

I have always kept a running email list of my buyers, and I used to manage my own direct sales by setting up 6-stealths and sending out 12,000 emails across the 6 associated email addresses. It worked out fine because i was able to spread sales accross multiple PP's and spread emails across multiple Gmail accounts.

But now Gmail has stopped letting me send bulk messages. They have reduced their sending limits and now I'm not even able to send 500 messages from one Gmail account anymore without getting the message bounced and not sent due to spam restrictions.

I'm looking into mail servers - mailchimp and aweber - but they want $150/month to manage 13,000 subscribers under them.

I don't need any of that other junk that these providers offer. I just need to send an email that says, "If you want (my product) , then please send money here."

It should be a very simple thing, and I'm not paying some overpriced junk site $150 a month to send 8 emails a year.

Any suggestions for a good email service?
