Email Integration

Hi,

We have a small SAAS application, and we want to start emailing our users a weekly email.

Can anyone recommend an approach for this? Does Mailchimp or other similar services allow you to use their API to pull the $Email, $FirstName and $EmailPreferences from your database and then send all of the emails?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Mailup.com offers an api set which you can use to populate relevant fields.

Or you run a local mail agent (only accepting mail from localhost) and that will forward to a service like mailchimp, mailgun etc. for mass distribution.
Taking mailup as example, it provides authenticated smtp users with which you can configure a local relay as noci suggested. In this case you would miss some reporting features.
