All,
Founder of Plunk here.
Yes, Plunk is designed to work with AWS SES. I was not the one that made it hard for folks to self-host their own email infrastructure. SES is simply the cheapest and most reliable option out there. Reminder, we are not talking about a private "let's send 10 emails a day" solution. This needs to deliver marketing emails at scale.
Does that mean you have to use SES, no. The code is open-source, swap it out for another provider if you truly believe that you can do it better. I'm open for contributions.

That's the beauty of open-source.
