>What do you mean by "subscribers"? In my case the client has a customer base of just under 10,000 customers, some with multiple email addresses. On average they seem to send out about 1,000 emails a day to a subset of their customer base, but some days there could be more than that. These emails contain specific information for each customer. Once every so often they will send a standard email to all their customers, This might happen 6 times a year.

Yes; there are hoops you can jump through to get white-listed, but from everything I've read, it's a far-from-easy process. Also, preventing attacks on email servers requires a lot of effort. I ran my own server for 5 years or so, late 90's to early oughts, and things were easy then: it was still a pain to have to deal with it all. I'd suggest reading up on it before making a decision. Basically, it's a job specialty all of its own.
