Note there's a big difference between transactional email providers like sendgrid or ses and those like mailchimp that cater to newsletters.

True, though MailChimp does offer STS (Simple Transactional Service) which builds on top of Amazon SES (you only pay Amazon's fees, the service is free from MailChimp).

Interesting. I did not know that.

(I think it's a mistake to try and go the other way, though. Building the newsletter/subscription management tech is harder than it seems.)
