If you see: "A test email has been successfully sent to the email address…", then you are almost all set.Enter your own email address in "Send a test email to" and click "Test SMTP Settings".For SMTP Username and Password, use the credentials that you created in the previous step.In your Email Marketer control panel, go to Settings -> Email Settings.Create your SMTP Credentials – this will give you the Amazon SES SMTP server details to put in Email Marketer in the next step.max emails per second –> max hourly ratemax emails per If it is 2 emails per second, then 7000 rather than 7200… (this is recommended by Amazon on their Improving Deliverability page)) Email Marketer has no setting to restrict the number of emails it sends in a 24 hour period, so you will need to manage this particular limitation of Amazon SES outside of Email Marketer (you should be able to increase your limit quickly with Amazon if you follow their guidelines). Set the "Max Hourly Rate" to be a bit slower than what is allowed (ie, if your max is 1 email per second, set this to 3500 rather than 3600. In your Email Marketer control panel, go to Settings -> Email Settings. Check your Amazon SES sending limits – Amazon limits the number of emails per second you can send, as well as the number of emails you can send in a 24 hour period.This will help you get better deliverability. Set up SPF and Sender ID for each email domain you wish to send from.Verify your sending email addresses – when creating a contact list in Email Marketer, the email addresses you put in for "List Owners Email", "List Reply-To Email", and "List Bounce Email" all need to be verified sending addresses with Amazon SES, or your emails will be rejected.Request production access – Until you are granted production access to Amazon SES, you will only be able to send email to verified email addresses.

Please see Amazon’s article for full details: Using the SMTP Interface to Send Email. If you want to use Amazon’s Simple Email Service (SES) with Interspire Email Marketer, you may do so by enabling SMTP support for your Amazon SES account and then entering in the STMP details at Settings -> Email Settings in your Email Marketer control panel.
