# Configure AWS SES

There are two steps involved in the integration of AWS SES for sending emails. 

* Configure your domain correctly on AWS.
* Get SMTP details.
* Add your details to Murlist.com

### Configure your domain on AWS.

For most users, this step is usually completed already. Amazon has a help article on how to add your domain here: <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-set-up.html>

The likes of AWS SES, SendGrid, SendinBlue do not provide IMAP. So you will need the IMAP of another mail provider like Google, Zoho, AWS Workmail, etc.\
A general rule is to use the IMAP of where you receive replies to your emails but we place no restrictions on this. You can use whatever IMAP you prefer.\
