Wonder why they didn’t leverage Amazon SES? SES has API and SMTP options and have infinitely better reputation than EIPs.

The ses pricing does not match our pricing unfortunately. We do give instructions on how to use SimpleLogin with SES in our doc at https://github.com/simple-login/app/blob/master/docs/ses.md though.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. This sounds like someone who did not know how to use AWS and trying to treat an EC2 virt like an email server circa 1998. Can someone explain why anyone would want to do a setup like described in the article?

ses pricing is not sustainable for our pricing model that offers unlimited forwards/replies.

We should have pointed this out in the article. Btw we know pretty well aws.
