Several of our hsoted customer at work customers use MailChimp with seeming success. For our mass mail runs at work we use Sendgrid and are happy with them.
I've dealt with mailchimp for one case, and was very unhappy with how stringent they are. Be very careful of their thresholds for abuse complaints, bounces, and unsubscribes, particularly if you are a smallish list. For 100,000+ it may not be terrible, but for a list I had with about 750-1000 people, .1% (1 or less for the entire list) for "abuse complaint" and 1% (7-10 for the list) for unsubscribes were just too difficult to deal with. All I needed was for someone to press the wrong button - or just not understand what spam means - and complain that my list was spam (a mailing list for a martial arts tournament that went solely to previous participants and martial arts schools), and my account got shut down. After having to have my account unlocked three times in about two months, I finally gave up on it.
