Im looking for a way to be able to send out over 100,000+ emails a day. How do websites that have over 2,300,000 subscribers do that when they are posting a couple of articles a week?

Any software, plugins, code out there im missing?

Thanks

Short practical primer for (and to expand on and ):

Sending 100k+ messages/day is doable, but it’s an operational problem, not just “one plugin.” Many VPS/cloud hosts block or throttle outbound SMTP and explicitly recommend using an email service/relay instead of running your own mailserver because of deliverability and abuse risks. (docs.digitalocean.com)

Concrete path to production (minimum viable checklist)

  1. Pick a high-volume SMTP/ESP (API + SMTP, suppression list, bounce/complaint webhooks, dedicated-IP options). Providers built for scale give quota controls and deliverability tooling. (support.sendgrid.com)
  2. Authenticate everything: SPF, DKIM and DMARC (bulk senders must have all three). Also publish a proper PTR (reverse DNS) and send over TLS. These are requirements for major receivers (Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook). ()
  3. IP strategy and warm‑up: use shared IPs while starting, or lease dedicated IPs and warm them gradually (start with your most engaged users, ramp over days/weeks). Providers offer automated warm‑up helpers — follow their plan. (docs.aws.amazon.com)
  4. Build robust ops: automatic bounce handling, immediate suppression of hard bounces and complaints, honor one‑click unsubscribes, and expose a List‑Unsubscribe header. Wire webhooks to remove bad addresses and feed your suppression lists. (manuals.plus)

Deliverability & compliance (non‑negotiable)

  • Only email people who opted in; use double opt‑in or recent confirmation for large sends and prune inactive addresses. Gmail and other providers monitor spam/complaint rates (keep complaints well under 0.3%). ()
  • Follow CAN‑SPAM rules (clear ID, valid postal address, timely opt‑out processing). Legal compliance and good list hygiene protect your sending ability. (ftc.gov)

Monitoring and escalation

  • Set up Google Postmaster Tools and Microsoft SNDS/JMRP to watch spam rates and technical compliance; these give early warnings so you can pause/ramp appropriately. (developers.google.com)

If you want, next step: list current hosting (VPS provider), expected daily unique recipients, and whether you want transactional vs marketing streams — that determines whether shared IPs suffice or you’ll need dedicated IPs and a formal warm‑up.

There are various articles which you can use but i usually use for my clients mailchip. There are 100 of widgests also available the best thing to choose the tool is to first research on your competetiors, what they are doing. Which tool they are using, what is there strength.

Not to mention, you are asking this on a forum that is (mostly) read by coders. So the next answer shouldn't come as too big a surprise.

It is far from difficult to write your own application that does just that.
The question is, do you really want to. Sending out 100.000+ mails daily, looks an awfull lot like spam.

I have a blog where I want an email subscriber list. I have a VPS that I can use. There are tons of widgets but they usually limit the amount of emails per day.

I want to send out about 4 recently posted articles a week to the subscribers emails
