I set up a WHM server on AWS EC2 instance and configured it to host a site. I also planned to use the WHM email service to send and receive mails but found that the emails were received on those email users created in WHM but were not able to send the emails.
Is there any way to send emails from the WHM server without using AWS SES or other email relay services?

I have an email config where emails are hosted by Amazon Workmail. I also manage the domain's DNS entries.
I want to configure an SPF TXT Record for my domain to indicate that only Amazon Workmail Servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of the domain.
The AWS Documentation suggests referring to a guide on configuring SPF with SES where the following record is shown at the bottom of the page:-
"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all"
However, I am not sure that the address amazonses.com is the same address that is used for Workmail. Does workmail have its own address or does it share the same as Amazon SES?
The workspace service, will be using the SES service to provide email sending functionality, this is why you would in SPF use amazonses.com.
Amazon WorkMail uses Amazon SES to send all outgoing email. The test mail domain and your domains are available for management in the Amazon SES console.
I run a simple mybb forum on AWS EC2 and I wish to send notifications to my users.
I have tried to request aws regarding upgrade of my email sending quota but they have refused.
Also tried SES but request is refused again.
Is there any way out I can reach my audience?
Wondering if I can do a http GET request to a SMTP server to send emails?
You definitely don't want to send emails directly from your ec2 server, and I would generally recommend SES instead - but if for whatever reason that doesn't suit your needs, any SMTP server should work fine - doesn't need to be an GET request, just plug in your SMTP credentials to whatever service you are using - gmail, ses, mailchimp, sendgrid, mailgun - pretty much any service is available to you and should work fine.
What is the google smtp service similar to amazon ses, is it gmail smtp? I have used amazon ses smtp for sending marketing emails, by configuring in my server. So google has similar service, or is it same as smtp.gmail.com?
Google Cloud does not offer a service similar to Amazon SES.
If your goal is to send promotional, marketing or newsletter type emails, use a service such as MailChimp or SendGrid.
If your goal is to send emails as part of your service to internal users or a small number of select users, use a service such as Gmail, G Suite or Office 365.
For some users, Amazon SES sends email from 0000-3232-ddsd-sas#amazonses.com domain instead configured domain
Is there any configuration to be done in SES side to allow sending message with correct domain to reported users?
Ive been reading all days different blog all around the web looking for a solution to my problem. For the first time in my life a used AWS VPS (with ubuntu 2.04.1 LTS) to host my Wordpress blog. My problem is I dont know how to send transactional mails (user suscription confirmation, password reset) through it.

How can i verify a sender email address using my Dreamhost domain and how can i start sending welcome emails to new users from a custom domain email address?
I found some wordpress plugins such as WP SES but all i get is an empty blank page when i try to access their settings.
Your help is much appreciated, thanks.
Since you are using Wordpress, you can easily use a plugin to send through Amazon SES.
Our AWS re:Invent presentation shows you how to configure Amazon SES and Wordpress to send using the service. We used the Configure SMTP plugin to connect Wordpress with Amazon SES. This plugin sends all email generated by Wordpress through Amazon SES.
Also, you don't need to verify an email address if you have production access and the domain you are sending from is already verified. Amazon SES will accept email from any email address at the verified domain.
