Send Email via Amazon is a right decision. Because when you move to amazon you will immediately get 2000 email free per day which is greater than googla apps 500 emails quota a day.

Step by Step:

  1. Go to http://aws.amazon.com/ses and click Sign Up for Amazon SES.
  2. To get your AWS access identifiers
  3. verify your email address - email which you will send email via. You need perl packages installled on your computer to test email features.
  4. include:amazonses.com to your dns record.

Step by step documentation. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/getting-started.html
