Guest Post – HAQM SES Update & Webinar
|
For this post, I am turning the keyboard over to my colleague Chris Wheeler. He’s the Technical Program Manager for the HAQM Simple Email Service…
A few weeks have passed and the dust has settled a bit. If you havent heard, HAQM Simple Email Service launched as a new highly scalable and cost-effective marketing and transactional email service. We thank all the folks whove tried the service out and are successfully sending their email through SES. The fact that several other email application providers have begun building on top of the HAQM SES stack further shows how simple and flexible the service really is. Thousands have subscribed to HAQM SES, and many have sent significant quantities of email already. The HAQM SES forum has been popping.
Let me take a brief moment to remind everyone of the process for sending email through HAQM SES. Subscribe to HAQM SES by clicking here. Youll need a valid AWS account if you dont already have one. Youll be placed in the sandbox where you can test the service and get familiar with the technical requirements. To get production access, click here and youll be taken to an application you can fill out in seconds. After review, you will receive an email from HAQM SES when youve been approved. You can also use the GetSendQuota API to check your sending limits at any time. Once in production, you can begin increasing your mail volume over time as you continue to send high quality mail.
Recommended migration strategies for sending email with SES can be found here. Finally, if you find you need to send more mail than the initial HAQM SES quota allows, click here and well be happy to work with you.
Finally, if you havent already checked out HAQM SES, we welcome you to do so in a live presentation Ill be hosting. Sign up today for the AWS webinar, Introduction to HAQM Simple Email Service on Friday, February 11, 2011 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PST. Register here.
