Plumail sends through Amazon SES. Here is what it adds.

Amazon SES, Amazon's email sending service — the infrastructure Plumail itself uses.

This is not a replacement comparison. Plumail uses Amazon SES to send — it is not an alternative to SES. It is the editor, the lists, the campaigns and the statistics SES leaves to your charge.

What Amazon SES does, and that Plumail does too

  • Competitive per-volume pricing for high-volume senders.
  • Amazon's sending infrastructure, used by a large share of the web.
  • Proven reliability at scale, well established in the industry.

Anyone can verify it in the headers of a message received from Plumail: the technical sender is Amazon SES. That is not hidden — it is the argument. Plumail gives you the visual editor, subscriber management, scheduled campaigns and open and click statistics, on the same infrastructure you may already be using.

What Plumail adds on top of SES

Getting startedOne account, one verified domain, first send the same day.AWS setup, domain verification, SES sandbox exit required before production sends.
Sending infrastructureAmazon SES (eu-west-1, Ireland).Amazon SES — the same infrastructure.

Everything written here about Amazon SES comes from public AWS documentation, checked on September 20, 2026. Plumail sends from the eu-west-1 region (Ireland). No AWS or Plumail pricing is quoted: it changes.

SES eu-west-1That is the Amazon SES region Plumail sends from. Your subscriber data is stored on a Hetzner server in Germany. The sending transit goes through Ireland — the same as thousands of other services running on the same infrastructure.

So, which one?

Amazon SES's territoryYou already have the AWS infrastructure, you manage lists and campaigns in your code, and you need no interface.
