We use Campaign Monitor for the delivery (www.campaignmonitor.com) - no 
fiddling with mail servers and they can deal with de-duping the list, 
subs & unsubs.

They have some nifty tools for spam testing your mailout too.

Highly recommended if you want to manage the creation and send of the 
newsletter yourselves, from a creative point of view.

There are plenty of companies that will manage that bit of it for you 
too (including mine) but that may be more money than you want to spend.
