I would like to set up an email newsletter for about 5000 subscribers with Mailtrain and I would like to go step by step. In the beginning, I do not want a subscription form, I will import them from an old newsletter on an email service (Aweber).
I have a few questions:
- Does it make sense initially to run my service on my local machine just to send one or two emails monthly to the 5000 subscribers?
- Does it make sense initially to configure locally Postfix and configure it in some way to avoid bounces, ISP complains, and so on?
- Is there any doc online to help me to figure out how to configure Postfix?
After a few months, I will need a subscription form on my website and I will move my newsletter service on a hosting to have it live 24 hours a day to accept subscriptions.
- What is the minimum number of a subscriber after which I need to switch to service like Amazon SES?
Thank you in advance or help.
