#12Mandrill gives you 12000 free email transaction per month. On top of that, they offer integration with MailChimp. Therefore, I recommend mandrill! http://mandrill.com/
Anyone knows if something like this exists for python?
Sorry for the late response. But from looking at the Madrill site, it looks like the API is a RESTful API so you should be able to use it with Python. And also should be possible to build a Python wrapper for it.
EDIT: And as I clicked on another link, it looks like they already have a Python wrapper built. Check out https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/index.python.html
