CAVEATS

New SES accounts start in sandbox mode, which limits sending to verified email addresses only. Request production access to send to any address. Email identities (addresses or domains) must be verified before sending. SES charges per 1,000 emails sent plus data transfer fees.

HISTORY

Amazon SES launched in January 2011 as AWS's email sending service, providing developers with a cost-effective way to send email at scale. The service has evolved to include receiving capabilities, templates, and advanced deliverability features.
