Using Amazon Mail Manager SMTP to send email via Amazon Simple Email Service

This article explains how to use Amazon SES Mail Manager SMTP to send email in AWS regions lacking the classic SES SMTP endpoint, such as eusc-de-east-1.

• Mail Manager provides authenticated SMTP ingress endpoint as alternative to classic SES SMTP
• Configure traffic policies to enforce TLS 1.2+ and filter recipients by domain
• Create rule sets with archive and send-to-internet actions for compliance
• Set up authenticated ingress endpoint with credentials stored in AWS Secrets Manager
• Optional VPC endpoint for private connectivity from EC2 instances
• Configure CloudWatch logging to monitor message flow through pipeline
• Integrate with Postfix or other SMTP clients for relay-based delivery
• Includes Python code example and step-by-step setup instructions

Mail Manager enables secure, compliant outbound email delivery with traffic filtering, message archiving, and rule-based routing in regions without classic SES SMTP support.
