*casually clicking through aws services*

*discoveres ses (email service)*

*tries it out as email driver in laravel project*

*discoveres you are in sandbox by default, means you can only send emails to yourself*

*reads documentation, says to get out of sandbox request a limit increase with default values*

// 200 per day, max 1 per second

*request what is mentioned*

*while waiting, find threads of people with the most well documented use case requests getting denied*

*pretty sure i will be denied to, thinking of starting to look elsewhere*

// next morning

*opens mail*

# your application is now out of sandbox and can now send 50k emails a day with a max of 14 per second.

    Yes they're pretty lenient now. They'll take action however if they receive above a threshold spam reports or bounces. Keep it clean.

    @gymmerDeveloper for reference, the thread i found where they were rejected while they had a very detailed use case, mine kinda was "i plan to use it for registration & password reset stuff" https://forums.aws.amazon.com/threa...

    needless to say the image perfectly describes my reaction when got a ridiculously high limit when not even asking for it, while others need to beg on their knees to even get close to that amount

    Make sure you build in some bounce handling too otherwise you will soon find yourself with bounce rates that get you blocked.

    @mgilberties actually no idea how to implement that with ses, i have set responses to the email to get send to s3 or get boucned, but aside from that aws does not clearly list any reccomendations

    @Quezler that is one way of doing it

    SES is a great email service with a managed IP pool. I wish everyone are using it for their AWS environment, unless you are a spammer.

    I'm a huge fan of mailgun. First 10k emails per month are free. Excellent API, and an excellent set of default analysis tools.

    @Quezler yeah I got the same too. I was denied once because I mentioned non managed complaints. Didn't know what it was.
    But I replied that I do, DW. I read afterwards what it meant.

    Well my emails are just account emails for now anyways 😉
