Ask HN: Is it a bad idea to send emails directly from a server?

2 pointsby Elect2about 8 years ago
My app need to send out large number of Emails. But the pricing of 3rd party SMTP service is not cheap (around $0.1 per 1000 emails). I'm thinking about buying a small aws/google instance that dedicated to send out emails. Is it a bad idea and why?
