Sending emails programmatically through the Amazon SES SMTP interface
To send an email using the Amazon SES SMTP interface, you can use an SMTP-enabled programming language, email server, or application. Before you start, complete the tasks in Setting up Amazon Simple Email Service. You also need to get the following information:

Important
Your SMTP credentials are different from your AWS credentials. For more information about credentials, see Types of Amazon SES credentials.

The SMTP endpoint address. For a list of Amazon SES SMTP endpoints, see Connecting to an Amazon SES SMTP endpoint.
