Support for AWS SES as a incoming and outgoing mailer ? #52

Hi,

How complicated would it be to get mailwhale to work with Amazon's Simple Email Service ?

Thanks in advance.

Never worked with SES, but apparently you can simply connect via SMTP (see here), so running MailWhale with SES as a "backend" should be as easy as putting the correct config settings.

Thanks for the prompt response.

But how do you detect if an email has been delivered correctly ? For example if a recipient has a mailbox full, then when mailwhale contacts SES, it will say OK, but later fail delivering the email... won't that be a problem ?

Detecting bounces is not implemented, yet, see #4.
