Hey everyone, whats the cheapest/easiest way to have a mailing list with ~10,000 people on it? We want to have proper subscribe/unsubscribe rather than forwarding a CSV of emails around, and ideally need to make it possible for non-programmers to use. We've gotta get a time-sensitive email out by tonight, so boosts welcome.

edit: we're gonna roll with a free trial of mailgun and figure something more permanent out l8r. h8 the corporate capture of email where it will cost us $35/month to send a damn email

@jonny I don't know providers, but unsubscribe is the RFC 2369 List-Unsubscribe header. If you can get anything capable of high email volumes, where you can set headers, you should be able to do this semi-manually to bide time until you can get a good system in place.

So, having someone vaguely-technical (really, they just need impeccable BCC hygiene and the ability to set headers when forwarding emails) be the designated Mailing List Operator might suffice.
