Hopefully this is a simple yes/no question 
If I were to download the latest PHPList version plus the Amazon SES plugin, and sort out an Amazon SES account, should it work all right? I just wanted to check the plugin is still up to date. Thanks.
Why do you need a plugin for using Amazon SES can´t you configure SMTP credentials in the config.php file?
The amazon ses plugin support ‘multi-curl’, which sends faster.
