Amazon SES SMTP SMTP Settings (Server, Port & Setup)

To send through Amazon SES SMTP, use these SMTP settings.

Amazon SES SMTP SMTP settings

• Server: email-smtp.<region>.amazonaws.com
• Port: 587 (STARTTLS) or 465
• Auth: SES SMTP credentials (not your AWS keys)

Deliverability still matters

Correct SMTP settings get mail accepted, but SPF, DKIM, DMARC and a clean sending reputation decide whether it lands in the inbox.
