email

We've developed a web application where people can sign-up on our website to make use of our service.

We have a functionality that allows users to send invites to their friends by looking up their contacts on Gmail, Yahoo Mail etc.

My question is - do we have to use a 3rd party email management software like a MailChimp or SendGrid to send such emails or should we send them directly?

If we send the emails directly and if the recipients start marking those emails as spam, isn't there a very high chance that we might get banned by Gmail, Yahoo etc.?
