 Okay I used their pricing calculator with these assumptions


 {{{
     10,000 messages per month x 0.0001 USD = 1.00 USD (Messages sent from
 email client cost)
     1 GB per month x 0.12 USD = 0.12 USD (Email client data cost)
     10,000 messages per month x 0.0001 USD = 1.00 USD (Messages received
 cost)
     100 KB / 256 chunk size factor = 0.390625 chunk size in 256KB
     1.00 USD + 0.12 USD + 1.00 USD = 2.12 USD (SES usage cost)

     SES usage cost (monthly): 2.12 USD
 }}}


 So at a glance does seem cheaper as long as we don't need to lease
 dedicated IPS, which I presume is optional. I always feel like there is
 some hidden cost in Amazon I'm missing as my bills on Amazon always seem
 to be much higher (for bandwidth) than I think they should be.

 I've never used it before though so not sure how it works.  Like will it
 keep record of sent emails like GMail does (they are in sent box for
 Gmail).

 So on bright side, seems like we could send as many as we want at any time
 vs. the gmail 2000/day limit.
