Hi,
I'm trying for the first time to set up Amazon SES sending through Maillistking. I stuck on the "verify email" box in the setup console. When I try to put an email address in the box it won't take it, and when I click on the "verify email" link I get an SSL error message about not being about to communicate with Amazon SES. What am I doning wrong? I did go into the SES console to verify my email address, it says "pending". Do I need to wait for that to come through. And if so, what do I do next after that?
Sorry for the basic question--thanks for your help. -Phil |

Update:
I have verified my email addresses through the Amazon SES console. But I still can't get past that field in the Maillistking setup screen. "None" is in the verify email box, and it won't let me change it. Please direct me here. Thanks |

Hi Nigel,
Ok, I switched it to SMTP, now am getting a different error message. I got the SMTP credentials and put them in MLK. I also verified three different email addresses as well as my domain. All show up as verified in the SES console.
But when I go to send a test message out of the MLK setup screen, I get an error message that says "Error encountered while sending with SMTP. Message Rejected: Email Address is not verified." I tried all 3 email addresses that I specifically verified in the reply address, all three give the same error.

Another update: I changed the server from the Amazon East Server that was in the MLK setup screen to the Amazon West server that was specified in the Amazon Console and it worked. So I'm good there now.
Last question--hopefully
I need to send my quarterly newsletter in early January to about 15,000 addresses. I only mail my list these 4 times/year. I'm assuming that AWS won't let me do that in my first mailing since I'm new, reading their literature. Assuming they won't (I will request it) is there a way I can easily subdivide my list to send my newsletter on consecutive (or several) days to accommodate the AWS sending limits? Hope my question is clear.

Hi Phil
You could do it automatically using ISP Limits (under File > Options), e.g. only send 500 per hour.
Or you could do it manually, e.g. by selecting a quarter of your list (search "Email" <= G, for instance, then Ctrl+A) and assigning them to a group...

Nigel,
One more small Amazon SES question with regards to sending limits. I was able to get them to raise my limit to 25K/day, which is good and I specified this in MLK. But there is also a limit of no more than 10 emails/sec. I couldn't find where to specify this in MLK. Is there somewhere to do this?
-Thanks,
Phil |

Hi Phil
Your limit allows 17 emails per minute. If you set this value (17/min) then you are unlikely to have any issues, as the average out your sending speed.

| Thanks, Nigel. Did you mean 17 emails/sec? |

Go back to "ADDRESS NOT VERIFIED" error. In my Amazon console, it IS verified. I changed the server to the "west" in the Amazon console, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Hi Nigel,
After waiting overnight, I tried the setup again, and it worked fine. There apparently is a time lag between verifying the email address by Amazon and being able to use it.
