What's the upper limit of recipients for a 3rd party solution like MailChimp? I manage the infrastructure of a newsletter that's sent to over 2 million recipients in a 12 hour deliverability window, and it didn't look like 3rd party solutions came anywhere close to hitting this. I looked around briefly but no services seemed to come anywhere close.

They normally can accomodate for that, but they don't show you pricing on their site. Basically, you'd have to contact them and talk about your specific needs. But I don't believe companies like Mailchimp, Aweber, and SendGrid would turn you down.

Yep if you contact them directly you can get direct pricing on any sized list. If you contact me (emails in my HN profile) I can put you in touch with our guy lance at Mailchimp

(Make sure to put your email in the about box, otherwise it is hidden)

whoops, done!

There are plenty of services around that are capable of this sort of throughput. But I suspect you'd be better off with one catering to larger companies (rather than the Mailchimp/CampaignMonitor type that primarily deal with large number of smaller clients).
