Answers.Body: <p>CiviCRM includes tools to create and send e-mail(ing)s but the actual process of delivering all e-mails to recipients is done by a tool. And to have a successful behaviour it is recommended to use something called a SMTP Gateway that is a server dedicated to sending e-mails. If you send few messages, you could avoid setting one or paying for such a service. If you often send campaign and aren't a sysadmin, it's going to be difficult to avoid paying for such a service. We own our servers but we work with a dedicated French company that provides us with a SMTP gateway. You can find many of them on the market. And what you pay is related to the volume.
  So CiviCRM is cost free to send e-mailing but deliverability has a cost.</p>

Answers.Text: I'm finding hosting companies put limits on emails per hour and really don't like mass emails going out at all. Obviously if your site is on a shared server and someone is sending out spam then the whole server and it's clients get blacklisted. Not good. I now recommend using something like SendGrid, which is reliable and does not cost too much. All the heavy work is offloaded to them.
