Send email using PHP mail() function through Amazon SES

Question

How to make the PHP mail() function use my credentials in the Amazon SES to send transactional emails without using the PHPMailer lib or having to install and configure postfix or sendmail for this purpose?

Is it a good practice? If not, why?

Answer 1

You can make use of Amazon based Sendy to send any mail to number of people at a time. But its paid one.FYI it uses PHP mail() internally.
