A: Dear Sumo-ling,

Yes, it works.

Set SMTP Configuration like this:

Sender Email Address: From Email Address [Must be verified in Amazon SES]
SMTP Host: Your Account's Amazon SMTP Server
SMTP User: SMTP Username
SMTP password: SMTP Credential
SMTP port: 465
Connection type: SSL

Also make sure to move out your Amazon SES account from Sandbox mode to send mass emailing.

Thanks!
