Send Email From Amazon SES in ASP.NET MVC App

@gandil I created this very simple code to send emails

using Amazon;
using Amazon.SimpleEmail;
using Amazon.SimpleEmail.Model;
using System.IO;

namespace SendEmail
{
 class Program
 {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //Remember to enter your (AWSAccessKeyID, AWSSecretAccessKey) if not using and IAM User with credentials assigned to your instance and your RegionEndpoint
        using (var client = new AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient("YourAWSAccessKeyID", "YourAWSSecretAccessKey", RegionEndpoint.USEast1))
        {
            var emailRequest =  new SendEmailRequest()
            {
                Source = "[email protected]",
                Destination = new Destination(),
                Message = new Message()
            };

            emailRequest.Destination.ToAddresses.Add("[email protected]");
            emailRequest.Message.Subject = new Content("Hello World");
            emailRequest.Message.Body = new Body(new Content("Hello World"));
            client.SendEmail(emailRequest);
        }
     }
  }
}

Send Email via Amazon is a right decision. Because when you move to amazon you will immediately get 2000 email free per day which is greater than googla apps 500 emails quota a day.

Step by Step:

1. Go to http://aws.amazon.com/ses and click Sign Up for Amazon SES.
2. To get your AWS access identifiers
3. verify your email address - email which you will send email via. You need perl packages installled on your computer to test email features.
4. include:amazonses.com to your dns record.

Step by step documentation. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/getting-started.html

There is a Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) C# Wrapper on codeplex you can use this wrapper to send emails.

Amazon SES C# Wrapper

Easiest way is to download the SDK via Nuget (package is called AWSSDK) or download the SDK from Amazon's site. The sdk download from their site has an example project that shows you how to call their API to send email. The only configuration is plugging in your api keys. The trickiest part is verifying your send address (and any test receipients) but their is an API call there too to send the test message. You will then need to log in and verify those email addresses. The email will be sent through Amazon (that is the whole point) but the from email address can be your gmail address.
