"old school" works well for us, like id10t describes. We have our contact database in Oracle (extensively categorized/tagged) and use very simple SQL and shell scripts to query it and pump out html emails - essentially just web pages you can built in Frontpage or Word or whatever - using blat (a Windows command-line mailer utility).

Be sure you include appropriate mechanisms to unsubscribe or submit contact info/preference changes, and also it is best to have a dedicated 'generic' mailbox to send these things from and to get the bounces and replies, i.e. don't use your own personal email address.
