How to Send Emails with Amazon SES SMTP Server Using AtomEmailPro
Email marketing remains one of the most effective ways to reach customers, generate leads, and grow a business. Many marketers choose Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) because of its low cost, high deliverability, and reliable infrastructure.
If you already have an Amazon SES account, you can easily connect it to AtomEmailPro and start sending bulk emails within minutes.
In this guide, we'll explain how Amazon SES SMTP works, how to configure it in AtomEmailPro, and why this combination can help scale your email marketing campaigns.
What Is Amazon SES?
Amazon SES is a cloud-based email sending service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is designed for businesses that need to send transactional emails, newsletters, notifications, and marketing campaigns at scale.
Some benefits of Amazon SES include:
- Low email sending costs
- High sending limits
- Reliable AWS infrastructure
- Good inbox placement when configured properly
- Support for SMTP and API integrations
Many businesses use Amazon SES to send thousands or even millions of emails every month.
Does AtomEmailPro Support Amazon SES?
Yes.
AtomEmailPro fully supports SMTP email sending, including Amazon SES SMTP credentials.
You can import your Amazon SES SMTP information directly into AtomEmailPro and begin sending emails immediately.
Supported information includes:
- SMTP Host
- SMTP Username
- SMTP Password
- SMTP Port
- SSL/TLS settings
No coding or API integration is required.
Amazon SES SMTP Credentials Explained
When you create SMTP credentials inside AWS, Amazon generates:
- SMTP Endpoint
- SMTP Username
- SMTP Password
A common mistake is expecting the username to be an email address.
For example:
Incorrect assumption:
Actual Amazon SES SMTP Username:
AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
Amazon SES uses a generated SMTP username instead of a traditional email address.
The good news is that AtomEmailPro supports Amazon SES SMTP usernames directly, even when the username is not in email format.
Example Amazon SES SMTP Settings
Depending on your AWS region, your SMTP server may look like:
SMTP Host:
email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
SMTP Port:
587
Encryption:
TLS
SMTP Username:
Your SES SMTP Username
SMTP Password:
Your SES SMTP Password
Simply enter these details into AtomEmailPro.
