Is it safe to use bulk email sending in Mautic instead of queue sending when using AWS SES?

Hi everyone,

I’m using Mautic with AWS SES for email delivery and wanted to ask about best practices.

Is it OK to use bulk email sending in Mautic instead of the queue-based sending method?

From what I understand, queue sending works through cron jobs and sends emails in batches, while bulk sending triggers immediate delivery.

Since AWS SES has sending limits and throttling rules, I’m unsure if bulk sending could cause issues like:

  • hitting SES rate limits

  • email delays or failures

  • server performance problems

  • deliverability issues

Would bulk sending be acceptable for small campaigns, or is queue sending always recommended when using AWS SES in production?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
