Django AWS SES email sending implementation

[jgournet]

Problem statement
Currently, the email feature is done by good old SMTP setting, to use Django send_email feature.
in AWS world, this means setting up a IAM USER from SES, which AWS frowns upon.

New Feature request
Implement the usage of Django SES module in CISO (with IAM Role usage)
like: https://pypi.org/project/django-anymail/

Hello @jgournet
Good proposal indeed but do you know if it has a support for /fallback to SMTP, for customers without a transactional api-based mailer?

I'll be honest: no, I don't know - but the project description hints that it does:

It extends the standard django.core.mail with many common ESP-added features

@ab-smith: just curious: is there any chance this can be put on some roadmap ? 🤞

I'll move this to the discussions section and I'll let you know.

The thing is that it's not a drop in replacement but an extra app that needs to be managed as a different email backend.
We probably can do something similar as the db managmeent when toggling between sqlite and PG.
