 Whilst you can configure your system to send email directly, this is fraught with problems as your IP will often get black listed purely for being an Amazon IP.
 
 It is suggested that you use a Smart Hose such as [https://sendgrid.com SendGrid] or Amazon's own [https://aws.amazon.com/ses/ Simple Email Service (SES)]. We go through the latter process here since it is free for the 1st 62,000 mails/month which is sufficient for most of our use cases.

+* In your Amazon Console, navigate to SES (Services | Customer Engagement | Simple Email Service)
+* Verify your Outbound Email Sender
+ * Domain, if possible: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-domains.html
+  * NB If you have control of the Domain, then it is suggested to improve deliverability by setting up proper Authentication via [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-authentication-spf.html SPF], [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-authentication-dkim.html DKIM] & [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-authentication-dmarc.html DMARC].
+ * Email Address, otherwise: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-email-addresses.html
+* Get SMTP Credentials (USERNAME & PASSWORD for the below config): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/smtp-credentials.html
