Developer Associate

Security Specialty

AWS Documentation

• A cloud based email service which supports both sending and receiving email
• Can be used to send notifications from your applications
• Uses a standard SMTP interface, but can also be accessed using an API and the AWS SDK
• All connections to the SMTP endpoint must be encrypted in transit using TLS
• When you configure access, you need to configure the security group associated with your EC2 instances
• Port 25 is the default, but EC2 throttles this port
• To avoid these timeouts, use either port 587 or 2587
