AWS cloud email sending service for high-volume transactional and marketing email. SMTP interface for drop-in compatibility with existing mail libraries. REST API (SendEmail, SendRawEmail) for programmatic sending. Bounce and complaint handling via SNS notifications. Starts in sandbox mode requiring production access request. Confidence is docs-derived.
REST API (SES v2): SendEmail with template or raw content, CreateEmailTemplate, GetSuppressedDestination; SMTP interface on port 587 (STARTTLS); configuration sets for event publishing to SNS/CloudWatch/Kinesis; bulk email sending via ListManagement; suppression list management API.
IAM-based access control for REST API; SMTP credentials derived from IAM user (not the same as AWS access keys); DKIM and custom MAIL FROM domain verification required for production use; configuration set event destinations for delivery/bounce/complaint tracking; sandbox mode limits sending to verified addresses only.
Bounce and complaint notifications via SNS to SQS enable automatic suppression list management; configuration set event publishing provides per-message delivery tracking; sandbox mode prevents accidental bulk sends during development; SendEmail is synchronous with per-message success/failure return; SES v2 structured error types for quota and auth failures.
SES v2 getting-started guide with domain verification walkthrough. SMTP credentials setup guide. Configuration set event publishing guide. Bounce and complaint handling best practices guide. AWS SDK examples for Node.js, Python, Java. Production access request process documented. Confidence is docs-derived.
