# Connect 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

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>

Next, ensure all DKIM and mail from are well configured. This is very important as it can make or break your campaign efforts.

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.
