Preamble

Amazon SES (Amazon Simple Email Service) is an email platform that provides an easy, cost-effective way to send and receive email using your own email address and domain name by settings. Not only that, the factor that makes Amazon SES more and more popular is the simplicity of usage and installation, clear documentation and instructions. Imagine if you wanted to build an email delivery system, you would need to set up email server management, network configuration and IP address … And with Amazon SES all of that was fully supported by Amazon. Enough, your job only needs to be set up according to instructions and usage. This is too convenient, isn’t it? ? . Now let’s find out about Amazon SES too.

First to get started with Amazon SES, we need to have an amazon account and login to the amazon dashboard. If you do not have an account, you can refer here After you have successfully logged into the amazon SES control panel, you will see a screen like this:
