## What it is
listmonk is a self-hosted, high-performance newsletter and one-way mailing list manager written in Go, packaged as a single binary with a Vue-based dashboard. It requires only a PostgreSQL database and supports multi-SMTP queues, subscriber segmentation, templating, analytics, and transactional email via API.

## Use cases
- send newsletters to millions of subscribers from my own server
- self-hosted Mailchimp alternative for email campaigns
- manage double opt-in mailing lists with segmentation
- send transactional emails via a simple API
- track campaign performance, bounces, and link clicks
- run high-throughput email queues with rate limiting

## When to choose
- you want full ownership of subscriber data on your own infrastructure
- you need to send large campaigns efficiently with minimal resource usage
- you want a single-binary app with only a Postgres dependency
- you need one-way lists, opt-in management, and built-in analytics

## When to avoid
- you need two-way email conversations or a helpdesk inbox
- you prefer a fully managed SaaS with no server maintenance
- you need deep marketing automation workflows beyond campaigns and transactional mail
