Amazon AWS - simple email service for Sydney region

Question

It seems that the Amazon simple email service is not available for the region - Asia (Sydney). We are using the other services available for the region. We do not want to change the region.

So is is possible to use SES from another region from codes like any SMTP server?

Answer 1

SES is just an authenticated endpoint on the internet. It doesn't matter where you are originating the messages from as long as you can authenticate those messages to SES it will process them.

Obviously you'll get charged cross region / outbound data rates for doing so.
