Imagin that you have a mail client (a program, platform, etc...) that only support SMTP protocol, but you want to connect to AWS Simple Email Service and your network infraestructure (FW, proxy, whatever) only allow you to connect by HTTP/HTTPS ports.

SMTP2SES is created to solve this problem. It runs a SMTP daemon that will connect with your AWS SES service throught AWS API.

This is a functional propototype, a lot of work is needed to have a final product. The use of it is under your own risk
