Request: Support for SES SMTP about django-ses

[akumria]

Can't you use Django's in-built email sending support which already supports using an authenticated username / password?

[hgolov]

Yes. It wasn't working, but I realized it was a problem on my end. Sorry
for the trouble.

Sorry for the delay here. Are we good to close this? I wouldn't mind adding something to the readme if you guys think it's worth it, want to write something up?

I'd write something like:

Amazon SES allows you to also setup usernames and passwords.

If you do configure things that way, you do not need this package. The Django default email backend is capable of authenticating with Amazon SES and correctly sending email.

Using django-ses gives you additional features like deliverability reports that can be hard and/or cumbersome to obtain when using the SMTP interface.

That sounds very helpful, thank you!

You might want to add that in order to use smtp with Amazon SES it's
necessary to install a third-party package for ssl.

Thanks again for this great package, I've used it in other projects.
