Listmonk is an amazing feature packed selfhosted email newsletter manager. It offers loads of features like analytics (clicks, opens, bounces), templates, public subscription pages, importing subscribers and much more!
I have been trying to setup my own newsletter for ages.
All of the platforms that I researched asked for stupid amounts of money for the services they where offering.
20$/month for 500 subscribers is not fair pricing mailchimp.
So I looked around the web for selfhosted solutions. Finally I found Listmonk, it’s a selfhosted newsletter and mailing list manager, written in go and is extremely performant.
So I wrote an article on how to set that up!
I hope this helps some fellow selfhosters!
If you have any feedback please feel free to comment it bellow.
I get it as a means to generate revenue, but I wouldn’t ever want to be responsible for mail deliverability if I’m getting paid for the email.
I’d just outsource that shit to SES, or mailgun, or mailchimp, or brevo, or whoeverthefuck and not worry about it.
The host it yourself thing just struck me as a weird thing that suddenly was EVERYWHERE I was looking and I couldn’t figure out what in the world the use case was.

I agree with you, I don’t want the trouble and just use mailgun free tier.
That said, I just need password reset emails for my IAM solution.
I imagine some just want to try, under the desire to avoid having their email data misused for data collection / ai training
