WARNING: NEVER send an email to all users at once! This will also almost guarantee that you will overload the AWS email sending limits, AND your emails will likely all go to Spam. You should only ever send a max of 10,000 emails in each batch, and you should start slow and give time between batches. This is called "email warm-up" - please read about this. Also, please read about "Email Bounces" and "Email Complaints" - these are important concepts to know in general.

First, create a new Campaign, for the subset of users you want to send emails to. This will create the email you want to send, and lock in a list of users to send the email to, but it will not send the email yet. Give your campaign a useful, descriptive name, like "YearInReview-2022-SubscribedUsers".

Next, using the new Campaign's ID, send a "Single Test Email" to yourself. Check on mobile and desktop that the email looks the way you want it to.

Go to AWS CloudWatch, and open up the [Environment]-Admin-Node Log Group. Choose the newest instance. This allows you to monitor the email sends in real time. Keep this tab open.

Go to AWS Simple Email Service dashboard in the correct region. This allows you to monitor bounces, quotas, etc in real time. Keep this tab open.

Use "Send Emails To Campign (Real Users)" to queue up emails to send to AWS. DO NOT SEND MORE THAN 10,000 emails per batch, and always wait until the batch is complete before sending the next batch. Note that these emails are not all sent instantly, you must monitor the sends in CloudWatch.

The "Get Stats" button gives you the number of emails that have been queued up in the campaign, so you know how many emails are remaining to send. It does not tell you the live number that has been sent in the current batch - you will need to check CloudWatch for that.

Please read about "email warm-up" as per the warning above. You'll need to space out the email sends to avoid overloading AWS and to avoid being flagged as Spam and getting your domain banned.

Keep an eye on "Bounces" and "Complaints", both here and in the AWS SES dashboard.
