Your ability to send emails can be removed if SES sees [too many bounces](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/best-practices-bounces-complaints.html). +- 🔹**Credentials:** Many developers get confused between [SES credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/using-credentials.html) and AWS API keys.

In such a case, set up an SMTP relay instance in a subnet with Internet access and configure your application to send emails to this SMTP relay instance rather than SES. The relay should have a [forwarding rule to send all emails to SES](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-smtp-existing-server.html)). ❗If you are using a proxy instead of a NAT, confirm that your proxy service supports SMTP. + High Availability -----------------
