    About

    Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) is a hosted service for sending and receiving email through Amazon Web Services. Applications can send marketing messages, transactional notifications and newsletters through an SMTP interface, API or AWS SDK. Incoming email can be stored in Amazon S3 or processed through AWS Lambda.

    Amazon SNS can report delivery, bounce and complaint events. Administrators can configure DKIM authentication and control access through AWS Identity and Access Management. Charges depend on email volume and the services used.
