I am trying to use Amazon SES and am getting an error when I try to send a message.

I am using email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:587 for SMTP Hosts and I got the username and password via creating credentials via Amazon SES and I selected TLS for security.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thank you

Hello,

I was advised to try to use Amazon SES and am in the stages of setting it up now (verifying domain at the moment).

What challenges do I need to be aware of for this?  Has anybody set this up to work properly?

You mention limits of some sort....where can I get those updated?  At the moment, the most emails we would send at any one time would be about 1700 (this is to our entire student base).

Thanks for the help!

Cheers!
