#2It seems they implemented a gradual increase of daily quota to protect themselves against spammer abuse.
Here's the link to the document describing the system:

#3You get a daily quota of 2000 messages if you're an EC2 customer. That's pretty competitive, and nicely within the limit of what I'm sending at this stage of my startup. Sold, well played once again Amazon.

#4If it works like they say, this is a godsend. Email is a royal pain and the pricing of SES is well below market rate. Postmark (http://postmarkapp.com/) is similar and is $1.50 per thousand, compared to $.10 per thousand from Amazon.

#5I wonder how well their mailing reputation is for high deliverability with this new service.. I've heard that mailing from EC2 was almost pointless due to its low reputation score

#6I suppose this will hurt the competition, sites like sendgrid and mailchimp.

#7Sendgrid & other such senders will be shaking in their shoes now. Personally, as soon as I have more time, I'll switch to the amazon service. Also, any new app I make will use Amazons service by default.
Sending email out is quite important for growth, and such services really help businesses.
What impresses me about amazon is that they are not looking at what the competition is charging or trying to charge high based off the fact that there are not too many such services, but are simply providing the service at a reasonable price.

I haven't been managing our email messaging, but this seems considerably cheaper than Sendgrid which charges something exorbitant (I mean, its like $80 a month, but they're f*cking emails).
Does anyone have a perspective on whether their service is just as good?

#9> Start sending email in minutes through Amazon SES using the AWS software development kits for Java and .NET
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the java ecosphere in terms of libraries and resources is unparalled.
