I mail out a non-profit newsletter as a PDF file each month to 450 members which will grow to maybe 700 in the next 6 months.
I am using Gmail but they have limits like a maximum of 500 mailing per day and only 50 (some say 100) per time. While this works I am looking for a better, quicker way.
It would be nice to have a data base maybe in excel with the names, email and additional information that we could use for other reasons. If I could import the email address monthly and send it out at one time it would be nice.
All this and have to watch the budget as it is a non-profit.
Any ideas would be helpful. I would like to use my gmail account but I could change.

Most non commercial email accounts will have some hard limit, that is due to possibility of spammers making use of non commercial accounts..
Seems to me your organization may need to look at a web host and get a domain setup.. That would most likely allow you to setup mass mailings easier..
In the interim, you could get mail Google mail address and make use of the free Google drive (yep, FREE online storage).. Google drive is a online storage site and you can "share" the contents of the drive..
Copy your newsletter to Google drive, and instead on monthly emails you can give all of your "member"s a hot link to the the newsletter folder..
Then you can simply copy the next months newsletter to the drive and they can view the new one whenever they feel like it..
