What is listmonk?

listmonk is a self-hosted newsletter application with mailing-list management, campaign editing, and analytics. It uses PostgreSQL and connects to an email delivery service through SMTP. You operate the application rather than subscribing to a hosted newsletter plan.

The software is available under the AGPLv3 license without a per-contact subscription. Hosting, database operation, and actual email delivery are separate costs. An Amazon SES connection requires an approved sending account, a verified domain, and sufficient account quotas.
