If you don't want to pay MailChimp prices but don't want to make the full leap to self-hosting, EmailOctopus Connect is a nice middle ground.[0]
It's similar to Mailtrain in that it uses your Amazon SES account to send the mail, but it's a managed SaaS so you don't have to worry about keeping your server patched or accidentally wiping out your subscriber list.
I've been migrating all my lists out of MailChimp and into EmailOctopus over the past six months, and I've been happy with the service. One nice perk is that you can disable view and click tracking, giving back some privacy to your subscribers. Their API is also the nicest of any providers I looked at.
