Class SendEmailCommandProtected

Composes an email message and immediately queues it for sending. In order to send email using the SendEmail operation, your message must meet the following requirements:

    <ul>
        <li>
            <p>The message must be sent from a verified email address or domain. If you
                attempt to send email using a non-verified address or domain, the operation will
                result in an "Email address not verified" error. </p>
        </li>
        <li>
            <p>If your account is still in the Amazon SES sandbox, you may only send to verified
                addresses or domains, or to email addresses associated with the Amazon SES Mailbox
                Simulator. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-addresses-and-domains.html">Verifying
                    Email Addresses and Domains</a> in the <i>Amazon SES Developer
                    Guide.</i>
           </p>
        </li>
        <li>
            <p>The maximum message size is 10 MB.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
            <p>The message must include at least one recipient email address. The recipient
                address can be a To: address, a CC: address, or a BCC: address. If a recipient
                email address is invalid (that is, it is not in the format
                    <i>UserName@[SubDomain.]Domain.TopLevelDomain</i>), the entire
                message will be rejected, even if the message contains other recipients that are
                valid.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
            <p>The message may not include more than 50 recipients, across the To:, CC: and
                BCC: fields. If you need to send an email message to a larger audience, you can
                divide your recipient list into groups of 50 or fewer, and then call the
                    <code>SendEmail</code> operation several times to send the message to each
                group.</p>
        </li>
     </ul>
    <important>
        <p>For every message that you send, the total number of recipients (including each
            recipient in the To:, CC: and BCC: fields) is counted against the maximum number of
            emails you can send in a 24-hour period (your <i>sending quota</i>).
            For more information about sending quotas in Amazon SES, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/manage-sending-limits.html">Managing Your Amazon SES
                Sending Limits</a> in the <i>Amazon SES Developer Guide.</i>
        </p>
    </important>
