Recommended email providers for phpList

I’ve been using phpList for about a decade on a shared server using localhost. The software is great - thanks. From time to time, though, someone else spamming on the server means everyone gets blacklisted. I just have about 5,000 subscribers and send 20,000 or so emails a month.

I see you now use Discourse for the forum, which recommends Mailgun, SendGrid, Mailjet and Elastic Email.

Are these, or others, recommended for phpList?

I will also look into phpList.com - but I will need the email server also for other things too (like Mailman) so am not sure it would be suitable.

I note that in signing up to the phpList forum, both the Wordpress confirmation email and the Discourse confirmation email went to my Gmail junk folder, which I suppose demonstrates how hard it is to get right.

Thanks.

Another possible email provider is Postmark postmarkapp.com. They charge for sending admittedly, but i have to use this on a site I took over that is on a Direct Admin server, and the DKIM and SPF settings have so far proved difficult to find, never mind the actual setting up!

I’ll look into Postmark, thanks.

Does anyone have experience of using these, or similar? Thanks.
