Amazon has now removed the email address verification requirement of the
Reply-To header. Sweet!

Instructions for requesting production access are here:

http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/index.html?InitialSetup.Customer.html

About three minutes after we submitted the form requesting access, an actual
human from Amazon called us to verify. By the time we hung up the phone, we
had production access.

Re: amazon simple email service + heroku

The only problem we've seen so far is not being able to use the Reply-To
header because THAT email address must be verified:

https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=220892

That's the typical pattern where your app always sends email (never on
behalf of another user), but you set the "sending" user's email to the
"Reply-To" header so the receiver can just reply normally.

We decided to remove the "Reply-To" feature for now.

That doesn't appear to be true once you've moved out of their sandbox and
into the production environment. I just tested this a few seconds ago,
sending an email via Amazon SES from a Rails app to an email that has never
received an SES email before.

The user received only the email from my app, no opt-in email from Amazon.

I've tried SES and it has an extremely crippling requirement:

Every email must opt-in to recieve an email from SES. If you attempt to
authorize an email account, Amazon sends out a very non-descriptive, cryptic
(for normal users) message that states that "Amazon SES would like to send
email to you". It doesn't say anything about my app, nor did I find any way
of modifying the message that's sent.

Still not ready to replace my current email solution with them for that. :(
