Now you will need a verified, approved and out of sandbox AWS Account to connect with MailBluster. As you already know MailBluster uses Amazon SES to send all the marketing emails. Amazon SES allows you to leverage the cost-effectiveness of bulk email services, making it an ideal complement to MailBluster, the most affordable email marketing software. When seamlessly integrated with MailBluster, Amazon SES ensures optimal deliverability and enhances sender reputation, making it an essential step for businesses aiming to maximize the impact of their email marketing campaigns. MailBluster does not support Custom SMTP servers or services nor provide any 3rd party SMTP servers or services. That’s why a user must have an AWS account to use MailBluster.
