I understand this question is subjective but I want to get a feel for peoples opinions.

For my needs, I want to send out lots of emails to lots of different mailing lists.

Currently, I am trying to pick between:

• amazon-ses-mailer ( https://github.com/abronte/Amazon-SES-Mailer )
• aws-ses ( https://github.com/drewblas/aws-ses )

What do you think?

We're using aws-ses gem in production.

Here's a simple guide how to set up it: http://www.ceban.it/2011/04/rails-amazon-ses-send-email-with-amazon/

Just browsing through the code base aws-ses has tests and many more followers. Plus it is actively being maintained. I'd stick with that. SES is new so stay on the lookout I'm sure more options will spring up in the next few months. Good Luck.

While as suggested 'aws-ses' gem is good, it's just a wrapper over the 'aws-sdk-v1' gem which already has the client for SES service. I'll suggest to use the official 'aws-sdk-v1' or v2 instead. They have good documentation of all the configurations and options.

For simple transaction based emails - contact us, new user, password reset, etc - try the ses_api-rails gem.

Available as a gem gem 'ses_api-rails' and via source at ses_api-rails gem

Set your AWS credentials in an initiliazer and then extend a mailer. It incorporates all the functionality of Rails and uses the updated Signature Version 4 signing process.

If you need to send newsletter, I wrote a gem that wraps aws_ses with functionality that deals with newsletters (such as Newsletter model, services to handle complaints. Give it a try and let me know. Its name is aws_ses_newsletters (source: https://github.com/10Pines/aws_ses_newsletters)
