Amazon SES Product Details

Building large-scale email solutions to send marketing and transactional messages is often a complex and costly challenge for businesses. To optimize the percentage of emails that are successfully delivered, you must deal with infrastructure challenges such as email server management, network configuration, and IP address reputation. Additionally, many third-party email solutions require contract and price negotiations, as well as significant up-front costs.

Amazon SES eliminates these challenges and enables you to benefit from the years of experience and sophisticated email infrastructure Amazon.com has built to serve its own large-scale customer base. Using SMTP or a simple API call, you can access a high-quality, scalable email infrastructure to efficiently and inexpensively communicate to your customers.

To use Amazon SES, you simply: •Sign Up: After signing up, you can access the Amazon SES sandbox – an environment specifically designed for developers to test and evaluate the service. •Verify Domains or Email Addresses: Before you can send email via Amazon SES, you need to verify that you own the domain or address from which you’ll be sending email. To start the verification process, visit the Amazon SES console. •Apply to Increase Your Sending Limits: Once you are ready to use Amazon SES to send email, you can apply to raise your sending limits and move your account out of the sandbox environment. It only takes a few minutes to apply, and you usually receive a response within 24 hours.
