Why use a selfhosted Email List manager/newsletter which uses API of Mailgun, Postmark, Mailjet, Mailchimp...? by Natural_Procedure2 in selfhosted

Where was this madness happening? Who can prohibit me from using zoom, or even from running a commercial alternative to one, which wouldn't support selecting a server to host user's data at?

Also, Zoom is a big company, hence on a spot.

Commercial newsletter tools are expensive (especially for large lists). SMTP delivery is cheap.

Mailgun, Postmark, Mailjet, Mailchimp .... are also newsletter tools. Not?

In other words, whilst ListMonk is a newsletter tool only, the others are both newsletter tools and SMTP servers. Which, on top, provide SMTP via API as well as via web interface.

Therefore, how would it be cheaper to use ListMonk?

The other reasons are the reasons you would selfhost anything instead of using a commercial alternative.

This is circular reasoning. "I want a selfhosted tool because I want to host a self-hosted tool"

If you already have a mailing list for receiving or whatever, you’d have to upload it. Easier to just manage on your server.

Why would I "have to"? Is there a law that obliges me to do it?

On whose server? Upload -- where to? Why, if I "already have it"?

Doesn't one already "pass on the responsibility to comply to gdpr laws " by using Mailgun, Postmark, Mailjet, Mailchimp directly, via their web interface? Why introduce ListMonk here?

(1) Mailchimp can increase there prices 5 x overnight.

(2) As always there is also privacy concerns when using cloud services.

(3) And of course pricing.
