Is AWS SES free?
The Amazon SES free tier, which does not expire, allows you to receive 1,000 messages per month for free no charges. The cost of sending Amazon integrated SES emails is based on three aspects: the number of emails you send, the size of emails, and the size of attachments. Emails are charged at $0.10 per 1,000 emails you send.
Total Billing Estimate: The total cost of this project varies depending on the size of the email you receive and the type of domain you own. Suppose the test email you receive is less than 256KB (a simple email containing certain lines of text is well below this size), the email doesn't have an attachment, your domain is a..com, and deletes the email from the Amazon S3 bucket within a month after it is received. In this case, the cost incurred during the execution of this project will be $12 if it is within the limits of the free tier, and $12.03 if it is outside the limits of the free tier.
The cost breakdown is as follows: Amazon SES ($0 for receiving emails), Amazon S3 ($0.03/USD per month to store emails outside the free tier limits, and $0 if free tier limits are included) and Amazon Route 53 ($12 per year to register a “.com” domain). For a detailed breakdown of costs and estimate your invoice.
How does AWS SES work?
Amazon SES integrates with AWS Key Management Service (KMS), which enables you to encrypt the mail you write to your Amazon S3 bucket. Amazon SES uses client-side encryption to encrypt your mail before sending an email to Amazon S3.
Getting Started
Q: What's the easy way to try Amazon SES?
The Amazon SES sandbox is a domain where new users can test Amazon SES features. When your account is in a limited environment, you can only send an email to verified identities. A verified identity is an email address or domain that you have proven to have. And when your account is in a limited environment, there are limits on how many emails you can send each day and how many messages you can send per second.
Q: Can I start sending large volumes of emails immediately?
When you're ready to start sending emails to unverified recipients, send an Amazon SES shipping limit increase request through the AWS Support Center. For more information, see Moving Out of the Amazon SES Sandbox in the Amazon SES configurations development Guide.
How do I set up Amazon SES?
Step 1: Sign up for AWS
Before you can use Amazon SES, you must register with AWS. When you sign up for AWS, your account automatically registers for all AWS services.
Step 2: Verify your email address
Before you can send emails from your email address through Amazon SES, you must show Amazon SES that you own the email address by checking it.
Step 3: Send your first email
You can send an email simply using the Amazon SES console. As a new user, your account is in a test environment called sandbox, so you can only send emails to and from email addresses you verified.
Step 4: Consider how you will handle bounces and complaints
Before the next step, you need to think about how you will handle bounces and complaints. If you send a small number of recipients, your process can be as simple as reviewing the comments and bounce complaints you receive via email, and then removing those recipients from your mailing list.
Step 5: Exit the Amazon SES Sandbox
In order to send emails to unverified email addresses and increase the number of emails you can send per day and how quickly you can send them, your account must move out of the sandbox. This process involves opening a case of increased SES shipping limits in the Support Center.
The benefits of Amazon SES why use it
Email are an essential reality for many companies, even when some have moved faster into the age of Slack and social media program. Any customer-oriented application should automate contact a user by sending official emails explaining new features,helping in continuous alerting or notifying (monitor) them of security threats issues to keep being protected, diagnostics insights activity & audit logs for visibility opportunities, or providing innovate customers with a way to provide feedback and technical support. Email traffic is the well-known official communication channel for apps and is often used for detection marketing services and control campaigns due to how companies can track the success of their campaigns.
The problem is that email solutions is also a complex (in terms of operational duties) positive effort for enhanced companies that need to send thousands and thousands of messages per month from multiple or multi applications, to official companies of the company, and as part of marketing efforts. It is complex in part because of the large number of messages transmitted, but also because of the stress that email can place on platforms. There are concerns about email reliability, compliance with email marketing regulations, and handling incoming email flooding.
Fortunately, Amazon SES usage functionality has the back-end infrastructure to track the accelerate flow. It uses cutting-edge content filtering techniques,reputation management capabilities to protect against access regulatory compliance issues (avoiding being labeled as spam when customers choose to receive messages), and a wide range of analytics and reporting capabilities. Amazon SES is a console application that administrators can manage and configure to meet business needs.
