Keila is an Open Source alternative to newsletter tools like Mailchimp or Sendinblue.
With Keila you can easily send out newsletter campaigns and create sign-up forms.
For smaller newsletters, you can use your own email inbox to send out campaigns. For larger newsletter projects, AWS SES, Sendgrid, and Mailgun are supported in addition to SMTP.
