To use AWS SES to send emails from domain use following steps:
# Log into AWS management console using web browser
# Go to SES service
# Click on "Verify a new domain".  Enter domain name.  Enable option for generating DKIM key.
# Add the DNS entries displayed by following popup in public DNS.
#: Add incoming MX record only if you want emails to go to SES instead of going to current email server.
# Wait for domain verification status to become 'Verified'.  Typically takes only a few minutes after DNS entry _amazonses TXT entry is added as per popup.
#: No need to wait for DKIM verification
# Select domain and click view details.  Verify that required validation / DKIM etc. records are as per shown details
# From the left menu go to "SMTP Settings".  There is option to create SMTP user by clicking "Create My SMTP credentials"
## On the IAM page choose the IAM username.  
## After IAM username is confirmed the page will show SMTP username and password for corresponding IAM username.  Please copy / download these and keep them for use with appropriate application
# There is default sandbox limit of 200 emails per day.  To relax this go to "Sending statistics" on left menu.  Click on "Edit your account details".  Make a request for production access with various details (Site URL, use-case description, email address, etc.)
#: '''Without moving out of sandbox the emails can be sent from and to verified addresses only.  Thus both from and to should be verified before removing the account from sandbox'''
# Create a test EC2 instance and refer [[CentOS 8.x postfix send email through relay or smarthost with smtp authentication]] to try to send email via SES using the obtained credentials.
#: '''Note that if you are still in sendbox both from and to address should be verified'''.
