Amazon SES in 20 minutes
1) Sign into AWS account
2) Get your Account Security key, and secret key
3) add to bundle : gem ‘aws-ses’, :require => ‘aws/ses’
4) you are going to need to know that you are sandboxed - this means you can only send to - and send from emails that you verify.
here is a quick bit of code that you can drop in your rails ./script dir to verify emails and test the basics of the gem
