For the record, I’m not in any way affiliated with the PyPA. I’m just
linking to official resources that prove the legitimacy of these
e-mails.

As for finding a better host, it’s not easy. MailChimp, as annoying as
they might be, has built up a good reputation with mail hosts* (of
course, there are a bunch of other services that have such reputation
as well.) However, if you send the e-mail yourself, and big mail hosts
notice you have sent a ton of e-mail, they will probably consider you
a spammer and make your life harder. Especially if your e-mail server
is misconfigured in even the slightest way.
