We do scenario 2 quite a bit in our dept. For a variety of reasons, we ended up rolling our own very simple solution. I'd be happy to show it to you off list if you'd like, but I'd be willing to bet you may want something more feature rich.

I have heard some very good things about Mailchimp, but mostly from non-edu sources.

 Hello.  Now that UR is no longer providing email services, what are people using for the following two scenarios?

1)  Mailing an existing mailing list, for example, emailing alumni newsletters.

2)  One time emails to email addresses provided by the university in order to recruit incoming students.

I'm aware of many of the existing solutions, such as Constant Contact, Mailchimp, but wanted to know what others are using, and how they are using these in the two above situations (especially with maintaining your own email database).  Is the university recommending a provider?
