Send Email from Delphi

SMTP is a pain

Sending email from Delphi typically means configuring SMTP components, managing credentials, handling bounce notifications, and worrying about deliverability. Running your own mail server is a maintenance burden, and third-party SMTP relays add another vendor.

Amazon SES handles the infrastructure side. With the AWS SDK for Delphi, you send emails through a native Delphi API instead of configuring SMTP. Domain authentication, templates, and deliverability monitoring are all built in.

Example

Send a transactional email:

uses
  AWS.SESV2;

var
  Client: ISESV2Client;
  Request: ISESV2SendEmailRequest;
  Message: ISESV2Message;
begin
  Client := TSESV2Client.Create;

  Message := TSESV2Message.Create('Your order has shipped');
  Message.Body.Text := TSESV2Content.Create('Tracking: 1Z999AA10123456784');

  Request := TSESV2SendEmailRequest.Create;
  Request.FromEmailAddress := 'orders@example.com';
  Request.Destination := TSESV2Destination.Create;
  Request.Destination.AddToAddress('customer@example.com');
  Request.Content.Simple := Message;

  Client.SendEmail(Request);
end;
      

Typical uses

• Order confirmations and shipping notifications
• Password reset and verification emails
• Automated reports and alerts
