    You can use a paid service like aweber or mailchimp.... But they will again send a verification message to all the users

    any other option, it's costly and not effective in my case

    You could buy a cheap shared hosting, but first ask the admins if you're allowed to send a few thousands of emails everyday. And setup a cronjob session and put a php script to send about 100-200 mails / hour.

    You shouldn't risk not using a service such as Aweber - most servers will lock you out if you try to email that many people at once and get a spam complaint. It's much better to do the OPTIN again route so atleast they know who you are and respond.

    some hosting servers allow you to do this for extra cost, sure you must get permission from the hosting company before doing so

    that's what I'm looking for , do you know any good script for such function

    For me, aweber is the best.
