I think I saw an article where the Goodmail CEO was quoted as saying 
$2.50 per 1000 messages, but that could go up or down "depending on 
the value". (I'll see if I can re-find the link). So with 2.8M 
emails, that would add up to about $7K.

However, you're counting incorrectly. You need to count ALL your 
subscribers, not just AOL and Yahoo. My understaning (please, correct 
me if I'm wrong) is that you would license the Goodmail 
product/service and use it on your outgoing mail servers. So unless 
you're planning on running one mail server with Goodmail for AOL & 
Yahoo and another one without for the rest of your subscribers (which 
may be a cheaper solution, actually), then you need to count them 
all.
