Nanomailer for AWS SES is a streamlined WordPress plugin that routes all emails sent using wp_mail() through Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) — a highly reliable, scalable cloud-based email platform.
It supports Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, and any other plugin that uses the standard WordPress mailing function. Nanomailer handles the full process of authenticating with AWS, preparing email headers, and securely delivering messages through the SES API.
There is no bloat or unnecessary overhead. It’s built with a focus on speed, clean integration, and minimal configuration. When removed, it leaves behind no database clutter.
