Does anyone know of any PHP scripts that will generate emails from a database of email addresses and an HTML template with bespoke content I.E greetings, unsubscribe email address links, etc... and send to an SMTP server?
I believe there may be complete solutions as you ask for Linux, but I don't know one to recommend.
You may also want to build one from existing components.
For composing HTML messages from templates, you may want to use this class:

You can use Smarty to compose the HTML document from a template and pass to the class above that comes with an example to do exactly that.

To send via SMTP, you can use the class above inc conjunction with this:
http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass
To handle (un)subscriptions by e-mail and also the eventual bounced messages, you can make the messages go to an e-mail address associated to a POP3 mailbox and regularly poll that mailbox with for instance a class like this:
