I recently revamped a non-profit civic group's newsletter, which is primarily distributed via email. The first edition was sent to 2,000 people who have expressed an interest in our group. We sent of using MaxBulk Mailer, a bulk mail program that uses standard SMTP servers to send an individual message to each recipient. For the first mailing we just created a Gmail account for the organization.

Since then we have added 13,000 additional subscribers. These are people from both higher and lower levels of the organization (that is, state and local divisions), as well as their friends and family.

I'm not sure Gmail would work so well when sending the same message to 15,000 people (even though we only send one newsletter per month). We're looking for a host that would work better for this sort of thing.

Since this is a nonprofit club, cost is key. Constant Contact and similar services are not what we need--we just want a SMTP server we can link to our domain (which currently only redirects to another domain's server), plus 100MB of web space.

Any recommendations?
