CFMX standard is very slow sending out email, as it uses only 1 thread. CFMX enterprise is a LOT faster. If you don't have money for CFMX enterprise, you can use IMS lite, which is Free and has 5 threads, and did well for us even with lists of up to 100k. We did use a dedicated server for actually delivering the mail.
We are using a linux box with sendmail to send out the email after it gets pushed to it through ColdFusion. If you have linux knowledge, it's not terribly hard to set up, and you can run it in vmware for free, if you don't want to spend the money for a dedicated box (or get a VPS solution somewhere). As far as other companies that let you do this, I'm not aware of any, though perhaps you can buy an email account somewhere and send email through it, but I would guess that would not be a great solution. IMS lite is a full featured outgoing mail server though, and it can deliver email without an external mail server.
