I have been using newsletter for some time, but havent sent a newsletter  
yet  
although there is 800+ mails in db

problem is that the mails that i have sent (via postfix) as test did not  
go  
to hotmail users (gmail accepted tho)

alternatively i started google apps but it has some sending limits  
500/per  
day via web, 100/per day via pop3

now i am looking for a way…

google suggest using different mails for that dunno but how to change  
mail  
address when it reaches to the some amount during the sending process

Maybe you should look into something like CampaignMonitor? I don’t know  
if that will help but it has been mentioned positively multiple times in  
my presence.

A lot of this can have to do with Reverse DNS and SPF records on your  
mail domain. AOL and hotmail will both flag these if not configured  
directly.

You can test this by sending a HELO message to many test services to  
see if your machine is configured correctly for mail, that is if it  
has a valid hostname configured in postfix.

Many configurations of Postfix out of the box will not work this way  
and while .Mac and Google are a little more forgiving, AOL and hotmail  
are not. Getting blacklisted by AOL takes a long time to fix and is a  
consuming process.
