I am trying to find a service which allows the use of purchased lists. I must admit though that that was very funny

Well put Ben! Ben is exactly correct. There is NO possible way MC can provide sending to 3rd party lists, purchased or not. As much as I’m sure they want to offer the ability to the client (and provide them this demand for service), it doesn’t work. Mail Chimp’s network will be compromised and the sender reputation will be at risk due to spam complaints, spam traps, honeypots, and network mole seeds. These are all auto-bots that will activate any RBL (Real-Time Block list). It’s inevitable, the IPs WILL become blacklisted at some point due to one of many reasons. If they offered or allowed the sending to 3rd party lists, deliverability for valid senders would be vulnerable and poor.

As others have mentioned, those services are for opt in only lists. In fact, the footer of your mail will have subscription email and most likely the people you’ll be sending to will wonder how they are subscribed.

We *just* migrated our blog to a new server, so we’re dealing with quite a few broken links and images (especially for articles written years ago).

Ask a silly question, get a silly answer. It’s not really the role of the guy running the mail server to teach you how to grow your list. The guys who are smartest about knowing ISP settings, whitelisting, feedback loops, etc., are not necessarily ALSO experts in marketing strategy. They can only tell you what NOT to do based on their experience with shutting clients down. If you haven’t done something wrong, you might not even be on their radar. So don’t get upset about a “flip,” answer. Instead, recognize that you’re asking the wrong question of the wrong person.

A way to grow your list, is to purchase an advertisement that leads to a landing page that contains a form where the person can leave his/her email.

And the above cannot be done in any way…

And if you have a purchased list, read it! It is like handing over, without reading it first, an assignment that someone, with poor grammar and spelling, did for you…
