Getting Started with BYOMailer

BYOMailer lets you send email marketing campaigns through your own AWS SES account. This guide walks you through the complete setup process.

How It Works

Instead of paying per-subscriber fees to traditional email platforms, BYOMailer connects directly to Amazon SES, where you pay only for emails sent (roughly $0.10 per 1,000 emails). You bring your own AWS account, and BYOMailer handles the rest: contact management, list segmentation, newsletters, automations, and more.

Setup Steps

1

Create an AWS Account

Sign up for Amazon Web Services if you don't already have an account.

2

Create an IAM User

Create a dedicated IAM user for BYOMailer to use with your AWS account.

3

Create Access Keys

Generate access key credentials for the IAM user so BYOMailer can authenticate with AWS.

4

Create IAM Policies

Define the exact permissions BYOMailer needs to send emails and manage SES.

5

Attach Policies to Your IAM User

Connect the permissions policy to your IAM user.

6

Request Production Access

Move out of the SES sandbox to send emails to any address.

What You'll Need

An email address to create your AWS account
A credit or debit card for AWS billing (SES costs are minimal)
A domain you own for sending emails (e.g., yourdomain.com)
About 15-20 minutes to complete the full setup
