Many years ago, I used the program Mail Bomber to organize and send mass mails to mailing list recipients - and it worked perfectly.
Now, I'm once again in the situation that I need to maintain a small number of mailing lists and occasionally send out mails with pdf attachments.
I tried my old Mail Bomber license, and although it still works, Mail Bomber claims that all the mailadresses I try to send to are invalid (including my own which I use to test with - and KNOW are correct).
Anyway, I can't be bothered spending a lot of time trying to get such an old program to work now, so I'm wondering: Which program is popular for mailing lists at the moment?
A side note: I don't want to enter all these mail adresses in my personal Outlook and try to maintain groups there, first of all because they are not my personal mail contacts, and second of all because the group function in Outlook leaves a lot to be desired.
A separate client such as Mail Bomber (although working) suits me best for this purpose.

Personally I've used Mailgun and SendGrid (online services) and they've worked well enough..
Transactional Email API Service For Developers | Mailgun
Email Delivery Service | SendGrid
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Do they handle attachments? I looked quickly at Mailguns' site, but it didn't mention anything about it...

You can do it through Mailgun's API.. Messages — Mailgun API documentation
Quote: File attachment. You can post multiple attachment values. Important: You must use multipart/form-data encoding when sending attachments.

Thanks for the suggestion. It might be an option, but I'd prefer a ready made GUI instead of an API, and preferable a locally installed program as I don't like trusting unknown companies with my mailing lists...
But if I can't find that...

These days it's pretty hard to bulk mail recipients from your own machine. Your machine's IP can be blacklisted very quickly and it's hard to get it whitelisted again after that. There's very little feedback on which emails were delivered and which ones weren't.

Your emails are going to go through x servers en-route, it's a given that they have them already

No GUI but I have used both mailsend and blat to send email from scripts and some console programs.

Nah leave it. Use Twitter instead. That's what real leaders do.

Not sure but maybe the latest Version helps? Mail Bomber 11.3

MailChimp works well for me, though you do need to send from a domain name and not just a google account, to avoid all your messages being marked as spam.

Second it. Been there, done that.

A third recommendation for MailChimp.
Getting your personal email marked as spam is a major pain.
I actually wrote about this: https://telaeris.com/blog/the-day-i-became-a-spammer/
I would also recommend sending a link to the PDF (or other document) as opposed to sending the actual file.

I have used Sendblaster[^] in the past and it did a good job for me

Funny that you should mention it.
I just tried it out, and it seems really promising.
Anyway, it worked where Mail Bomber failed!
