Yes, it needs SMTP or preferably a transactional email provider (sending from your own server will quickly result in all email routing to spam folders). Giving massmailer to all users is technically possible but I can’t imagine how it can be feasible. It allows emailing everyone on the site, so it’s a feature you want to restrict to admins only.

Yes. All is said. Plus my 2 cents:
- Massmailer is atm an admin module, not a public one. As Andrey mentioded above
- Going with UNA frame so SMTP is always the best solution to have control of your own mails.
- MASS MAILER is not Mail Chimp. Right now mass mailer is best for admins and mods and that is perfect to avoid any conflicts.
- To Mass Mail to your users of your UNA frame/site there are many other ways.... like mail chimp
