Seems like a white labeling opportunity. Though I am not sure if their TOS allows it.
Could anyone explain the usage of 'white label' here? The Wikipedia entry (+) doesn't help this foreign speaker. (+) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-label_product

The white label would obviously have to offer something of value and in this discussion, that value would be predictable pricing and maybe simplification of the services.
If 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.
Mailchimp appears to be offering unique emails from $5 per thousand! They appear to have significant discounts for emailing lists, but even at $12903 for 24.8 million emails, that's still $.52 per thousand. http://www.mailchimp.com/pricing Data transfer rates still apply for Amazon, but still... am I missing something?
MailChimp is an email broadcast and subscription management service. It's for sending things like email newsletters and marketing campaigns.
SES/Postmark/Sendgrid are more for one-to-one type communications, e.g. delivering your application's forgot password email.
I love what Amazon is doing with AWS, and I like this new service a lot. Plus I'm a happy customer. But damn this is all getting very complicated. First they turn off email, so you have to find a provider, then they turn it back on, but you have to pay them. Looking at my AWS console, I've got 8 or 9 tabs on there -- each representing a little piece of what I might want in an app. Each has it's own help section with…

I wonder who's going to be the first to announce a SMTP proxy for this? More seriously: While I can kind of understand that Amazon has their API and probably wants this to work similarly, but there is already a wide-spread protocol for sending out email (SMTP) and I just can't understand why they can't provide an endpoint for that. Many applications which I really see making use of this already have built-in SMTP sup…
I can't find it but can you send attachments as well?

AWS is awesome for exactly that reason, one can build a more integrated package on top of the individual parts and sell it.

You can configure SES to work with Postfix or Sendmail. It's at least close to what you're asking about.
