You could use Amazon’s Simple Email Service (http://aws.amazon.com/ses/). It provides you with and API to send e-mails (low volume or bulk).
The service isn’t free, but it is very cheap ($0.10 per 1000 e-mails). There is a free tier like in most Amazon cloud services, but this one is only applicable if you are sending the e-mails from EC2 instances (most likely not your case…).
Additionally it provides you with statistics on deliverability and some assurance that you won’t get flagged as spam (unless that’s what you are doing 🙂
