I'm consulting for a non-profit that needs to upgrade its mail system. They send
about 100,000 messages a day, a combination of a nightly update message that
people can subscribe to, and transactional mail reporting when things happen.
There's no discussion lists, and the inbound mail is a relative trickle,
adequately hosted at Google. The mail stream is very clean and most of the
complaints we get are people asing where's my nightly update when the job that
creates them burps.

It's currently running through an old sendmail server but surely we can do
better than that. What should I use? We particularly want good logging so when
someone asks why didn't I get my update we can tell them without grepping
through a whole day's logs. We also have problems of people signing up with fake
addresses so I need to be able to collect signup confirmation failures fairly
quickly and turn off the corresponding accounts. (Yeah, I know about sending a
message with a link, but people use throwaway address places that work for a day
and then stop.)

I have a place to host a VPS and send mail which is not Google or AWS or Azure
so that's not a problem.

TIA,
John
