FrazzleCRM + Amazon SES

SMTP (email)

The cheapest serious sending on the internet (~$0.10 per 1,000).

The settings

SMTP hostemail-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com (use your region)
Port587 (STARTTLS)
Username / passwordSES SMTP credentials (created in the SES console)

Setup, step by step

  1. 1.In the SES console: Verified identities → verify your domain, and add the DKIM records SES generates.
  2. 2.Create SMTP credentials (SES console → SMTP settings → Create SMTP credentials — these are NOT your AWS keys).
  3. 3.New AWS accounts start in sandbox mode: request production access (a one-form support request, usually approved in a day).
  4. 4.In FrazzleCRM: Settings → Credentials → Add SMTP with your region's host, port 587 and the SMTP credentials.
  5. 5.Test-send, then select the credential on your email steps.

Deliverability in one line: SPF + DKIM on your domain, warm up gradually, and let FrazzleCRM's broken-link watchdog catch dead links before subscribers do.

Common questions

Why is SES so cheap?

It's raw infrastructure: ~$0.10 per 1,000 emails, but you bring your own monitoring and warm-up discipline. FrazzleCRM's broken-link watchdog and your own bounce handling cover part of that; SES reputation dashboards cover the rest.

Which region should I pick?

The one closest to you operationally — just make sure the SMTP host region matches where you verified the domain.
