In light of the recent updates regarding Mandrill, we’ve noticed an influx of inquiries from Mandrill users exploring alternatives for their email service needs. Transitioning to a new platform can feel overwhelming. To familiarize yourself with Amazon SES and its capabilities, we invite you to visit our product detail page and the Getting Started guide. Additionally, you can watch our presentations from re:Invent 2014 and 2015, which showcase real-world applications of SES’s email sending and receiving functionalities. As with many AWS offerings, SES includes a free tier.
For those ready to embark on the migration process, we have compiled a comprehensive list of resources to assist you in setting up SES.
If you utilize an SMTP interface to send emails, please refer to our SMTP endpoints. For those using a web API, explore the SES API. You can interact with the SES API directly over HTTPS or utilize one of the numerous AWS SDKs that simplify the process. AWS SDKs are available for Android, iOS, Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby.
API users should take note of the following similarities:
- Mandrill’s send method equates to SES’s SendEmail.
- Mandrill’s send-raw method corresponds to SES’s SendRawEmail.
- There is no equivalent send_at parameter in SES; messages are queued for delivery immediately upon sending.
- SES API calls are designed to be asynchronous, so there’s no need to specify async.
For those processing incoming emails, SES allows you to receive these messages. Through our inbound processing capabilities, you can store emails in S3, receive SNS notifications, and implement custom logic with Lambda. To ensure optimal deliverability, we offer Easy DKIM for automatic DKIM-signing of your emails (manual DKIM-signing is also an option).
SES features a mailbox simulator for testing your application’s handling of various scenarios, including deliveries, bounces, and complaints.
We aim to make your transition as smooth as possible. If you have any questions, we encourage you to join our forums or explore our support options. Welcome to SES!
