FAQ

Why not just install Postfix on a cheap VPS?

IP reputation on discount ranges is often already burned. You also inherit patching, queues, and abuse desks. SES starts from a mail-focused network.

Is SES alone enough?

SES is the pipe. You still need campaigns, contacts, and an API UI. sendbunny is that platform, one click into your account.

What about cost at scale?

Roughly $0.10 per 1,000 emails on SES after the one-time license. Quiet envs stay near $0.
