AWS Simple Email Service (SES) can be used to send out emails from a web application or email server. However, if you want to use SES, then you must make sure it is not in the sandbox mode. The sandbox mode limits the number of emails that you can send and receive, which can affect the performance of your application.

Here’s how you can find out if your SES is in the sandbox mode in AWS Console:

Log in to the Amazon Web Services console: https://console.aws.amazon.com/
In the navigation pane, click on Services and then type “SES” in the search bar.
Click on SES in the search results and then click on Email Sending.
You’ll now see the Account details section and in that section, you’ll see Sending statistics.
Next, scroll down the page, and you’ll see the Sending limits section.
If the Sandbox mode option is enabled, then it means your SES is in sandbox mode.
To exit the sandbox mode, click on the Request a Sending limit increase link and follow the instructions to submit a request. Once the request is approved, you’ll be able to send out more emails.

Hope this helps!

Using AWS SES, you can send emails from your AWS account and use various features like precise targeting, tracking, customization etc.

If you want to check if your account is in Sandbox mode or not, you can do so by following these steps:

Log into your AWS Console.
Click on the Services icon on the upper left side of the window and then click on ‘Simple Email Service’ or search for ‘SES’.
Once you are in the ‘Simple Email Service’, click on the ‘Domains’ tab.
Scroll down to the ‘Email sending’ tab and look for the status. If it says “Sandbox mode” then your account is in sandbox mode.
