AWS SMTP Setup for Marketing

I want to run marketing campaigns from my own infrastructure rather than relying on third-party mailers, so I need a fresh Amazon SES (SMTP) environment built from scratch. I do not yet have an AWS account, so the first step will be guiding me through account creation, basic security hardening, and verifying my identity with Amazon.

Once the account is active, I will rely on you to move the domain into SES, set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, request production access, and secure the SMTP credentials. Please handle every configuration step necessary so I can plug the final host, port, username, and password directly into my email automation tool and start sending marketing emails without landing in spam.

Deliverables will be straightforward:
• A brand-new AWS account ready for billing and SES use
• Fully verified domain with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in place
• Production-mode SES SMTP credentials and region endpoint
• Brief, plain-English hand-over notes showing where to update quotas or add new domains later

I am comfortable managing day-to-day sending once the foundation is in place, so the project finishes when your credentials successfully send a test message to my inbox. Let me know your timeline and any information you need from me to get started.
