The best way to do email marketing is to build your own newsletter list. Once you have started building this list use a whitelist email server to send out your newsletters. If you try sending out a large amount of emails even if they are bonafide newsletter sign-ups from your site - your hosting service will potentially block you and as well will many email places block your IP or emails.

Aweber
Constant contact
