Hi guys,

I followed this guide at Linode to have a postfix + dovecot and mysql configuration

https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postf … -and-mysql">https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/email-with-postfix-dovecot-and-mysql

It all worked.

But, I have this requirement where using the same setup. I need to send all postfix emails to Amazon SES. I am lost right now on how to combine Amazon SES with this setup, as some might conflict with the existing config.
