Guide on how to add AWS SES Email Integration
Step 1. Account Setup
To access Amazon SES, you need to Sign up for AWS first.
Before you send an eMail through Amazon SES, you need to verify that you own the βFromβ address.
Initially, your SES account will be in Sandbox, and you will be allowed to send emails to only verified emails. You can verify all your βToβ addresses or domains. For more information, see Verifying identities in Amazon SES. In the AWS SES sandbox, you can only send emails to addresses/domains you have verified. Also, it has a quota of 200 emails per 24-hour period at a maximum rate of one email per second. To increase your sending quotas and to send email to unverified email addresses, see Moving out of the Amazon SES sandbox.
