Amazon SES SMTP with Django

Question

I\'m trying to use Amazon\'s new SMTP service for SES with Django 1.3.1 but I\'m not having much luck.

I\'ve created my SES SMTP credentials and have this in my settings

Answer 1

2019 Update: Django 2.2.1

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

EMAIL_HOST = 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'my_smtp_username'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my_smtp_password'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

No library needed.
