Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct endpoint for sending emails using Amazon SES with TLS is the SMTP endpoint, which is email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com over port 587. This port is commonly used for SMTP with STARTTLS, which is a method to take an existing insecure connection and upgrade it to a secure connection using TLS.
