No. You can only use Amazon SES to send email from addresses or domains that you own. \n

To prove that you own an email address or domain, you have to verify it. In each AWS Region, you can verify up to 10,000 email addresses and domains, in any combination.

Amazon SES is for applications that need to send communications via email. Amazon SES supports custom email header fields, and many MIME types. \n

By contrast, Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is for messaging-oriented applications, with multiple subscribers requesting and receiving \"push\" notifications of time-critical messages via a choice of transport protocols, including HTTP, Amazon SQS, and email. The body of an Amazon SNS notification is limited to 8192 characters of UTF-8 strings, and isn't intended to support multimedia content."},"metadata":{"tags":[{"id":"GLOBAL#product#ses","name":"Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)","namespaceId":"GLOBAL#product","description":"Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)","metadata":{}},{"id":"product-faqs#ses-faq#other-aws-services","name":"other-aws-services","namespaceId":"product-faqs#ses-faq","description":"
