Advanced AmazonSimpleEmailService configuration

If you need more control over the AmazonSimpleEmailService instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:
from("direct:start")
.to("aws-ses://example@example.com?amazonSESClient=#client");
The #client refers to a AmazonSimpleEmailService in the Registry.
For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:
AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");
ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);
AmazonSimpleEmailService client = new AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

pom.xml
