About

AWS email service for sending and receiving mail through the SES API, SMTP or the AWS SDKs. It is billed per email with no SES-specific free allowance. New accounts start in a sandbox and must request production access.

What you can do with it

Send transactional and marketing email from your app via API or SMTP
Receive inbound email and hand it to S3, SNS or Lambda
Get bounce, complaint and delivery notifications through SNS

Get started

Verify a sender address or domain
Request production access to leave the sandbox
Configure AWS credentials for the AWS CLI

Example

# The AWS CLI reads $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
aws ses send-email \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --from sender@example.com \
  --to recipient@example.com \
  --subject "Hello" \
